Avowed Launches Major Update, Boosts Features

Just four weeks after launch - including its debut on Game Pass - Obsidian and Xbox Game Studios have released a celebratory trailer for Avowed. The video compiles glowing reviews and praise from industry critics, underlining the action-RPG's warm reception.

Next-Gen Performance Upgrade

The latest patch introduces DLSS 4 support with Multi Frame Generation, Super Resolution, and DLAA technologies. These enhancements deliver significant performance gains, with NVIDIA showcasing up to 3x higher frame rates at 4K ultra settings, achieving remarkable peaks of 340 FPS. The development team also hinted at forthcoming updates about the game's ongoing support and development roadmap.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

Beyond technical upgrades, the update brings meaningful gameplay refinements. Players now gain an extra talent point every five levels, with existing characters automatically receiving these benefits upon loading saves. Keyboard and mouse controls gain walk/run toggle functionality, while a new accessibility feature increases text size across journals, guides, and in-game documents.

While not universally perfect, Avowed has earned strong critical acclaim since launch. Notably, Digital Foundry hailed it as a technical "masterpiece," reinforcing Obsidian's reputation for delivering exceptional RPG experiences.
