Xbox Exclusive RPG Avowed Is Coming To PS5 With New Features



Avowed, Obsidian’s 2025 RPG originally released on Xbox Series X/S and PC, is coming to PlayStation 5. The new version of Avowed, announced during the New Game+ Showcase, will be available on Sony’s system on February 17, 2026–just a day short of the one-year anniversary of the game’s original release. Microsoft remains the game’s publisher, having purchased Obsidian in 2018.

The game, a first-person action RPG set in the world of Pillars of Eternity, tasks players with investigating a mysterious plague, fighting their way through a sprawling world with a mix of weapons and magic.

Alongside the PS5 version, Obsidian will also release an anniversary update for the game for all systems. This update will add a “New Game Plus” mode, which lets you carry over all of your equipable gear to a new character, reset to level 1, and fight modified enemies. It also adds a photo mode, three new playable races, the ability to change your appearance from the overworld, and a new weapon type. The PS5 version will also contain all post-release content and updates that the game has received thus far.

Avowed is available for preorder through the PlayStation Store for $50., or $60 for the Premium Edition, which features a digital artbook and soundtrack, two extra player armors, and eight companion skins. No plans for a physical release have been announced.

Avowed received a 6/10 in GameSpot’s review. “On multiple fronts, Avowed holds so much promise that it struggles to follow through on,” wrote Alesseandro Barbosa. “While its combat feels impactful and gives you options to experiment with, it’s hamstrung by an overall reliance on gear upgrades and scarce resources that prevent you from fully enjoying the creative freedom it initially advertises.”

Avowed is the latest in a long line of Microsoft-published games that have come to PS5, including Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Forza Horizon 5. A PS5 and Switch 2 version of South of Midnight was also announced during the 2025 Game Awards.
