Overview
- Avowed released on PS5 on February 17, 2026 alongside an Anniversary Update on all platforms, with PS5 editions priced at $49.99 for Standard and $59.99 for Premium.
- The update adds New Game+, three new playable races, a new weapon type, a photo mode, expanded customization options, and granular difficulty and accessibility settings.
- Reviewers report solid PS5 performance and sharp visuals, with occasional dialogue stutters and rare instances of getting stuck while exploring.
- Critics broadly praise the weighty action combat and engaging exploration, while describing the writing and characters as competent but not especially memorable.
- New difficulty sliders can largely ease the previously criticised gear-based progression gate, contributing to a more polished experience than the initial Xbox/PC release.
