Avowed Marks First Month with Major Update, Enhanced Features

Just one month following its launch and its inclusion in Game Pass, Obsidian and Xbox Game Studios have released a celebratory trailer for Avowed. This trailer features a compilation of glowing reviews and testimonials from gaming critics, underscoring the enthusiastic reception of the action-RPG.

The recent update introduces support for DLSS 4, which includes Multi Frame Generation, Super Resolution, and DLAA. These cutting-edge technologies significantly boost performance, with NVIDIA showcasing a potential threefold increase in frame rates at maximum 4K settings, achieving up to 340 FPS. Additionally, the developers have hinted at upcoming announcements regarding the game's future enhancements and roadmap in the weeks ahead.

Beyond technical upgrades, this update also focuses on enriching the player experience. Players will now gain an extra talent point every five levels, and those who have already advanced will receive these points automatically upon loading the game. For keyboard and mouse players, a new feature allows toggling between walking and running, enhancing control. Moreover, a new accessibility option has been added to increase font sizes across documents, guides, and other in-game text, making the game more accessible to a broader audience.

While Avowed hasn't completely silenced critics, it has earned robust praise. Notably, Digital Foundry hailed the game as a technical "triumph," cementing its status as a remarkable achievement from Obsidian.
