Overview
- Avowed is now available on PlayStation 5 via the PS Store, with Standard and Premium editions listed at $49.99 and $59.99 respectively.
- Obsidian’s Anniversary Update adds New Game Plus across platforms, with carry‑over of most unlocked abilities and gear (unique items reset to level 1) and tougher enemies, and it requires an updated completion save to start.
- The patch expands character creation with three new playable species—Dwarf, Orlan and Aumaua—and introduces a Magic Mirror at camp to change species and appearance mid‑playthrough.
- Players also get custom difficulty modifiers that can ease gear‑gated progression, a new quarterstaff weapon type, Photo Mode, and numerous quality‑of‑life improvements.
- Early PS5 reviews report solid performance with occasional animation or stutter issues, and coverage notes this is the final major update on the public roadmap, even as the game is reported to have fallen short of Microsoft’s sales expectations despite strong Game Pass engagement.
