- Avowed came out just last month.
- When discussing the title’s reception, the game director stated that Xbox and Microsoft were very happy.
- While the team has no number to give, they are happy with the title’s success.
Avowed has been one of the biggest releases of 2025 so far. The title was released last month with a decent 80 score on Metacritic. The title was already among the top-selling games on Steam even before its launch.
Soon after the game was launched, the developer stated that they were quite happy with its sales. Now, the Avowed director stated that Xbox and Microsoft are very happy with the reception of Obsidian latest RPG.
Why it matters: Avowed was in development for half a decade, so it’s great that the developers have received the reception they hoped for.
During a recent interview with Eurogamer, Avowed Director Carrie Patel was asked about the number of players who have played the game.
In response to the question, Carrie stated that while she doesn’t have a firm metric, the team and Microsoft have been very happy with the reception of their latest RPG.
I’ve certainly been very happy, and all the folks I’ve talked to, both at the studio level and at the Xbox and Microsoft level, have been very happy with the reception to our game.

She further stated that since the game has been played through different platforms, as many players have purchased it while some have been playing it through Game Pass, she doesn’t have an exact metric or number to give.
Not too long ago, it was reported that Avowed had reportedly seen around 6 million players in the first month, beating titles like Indiana Jones, which saw only 4 million players during its first month. So, it’s safe to say that the title had a better launch than many huge titles.
While the developers are currently working on The Outer Worlds 2, it was recently reported that the studio wants to develop a Pillars of Eternity Tactics title. Therefore, we could expect great things from Obsidian in the coming years.
