Gear up, PlayStation fans! The fantasy world of Avowed is crashing onto PS5 this February 17, 2026! Originally casting its spell on Xbox Series X/S and PC, this high-octane action RPG from Obsidian Entertainment is set to rock Sony's console with thrilling new updates. And guess what? It's landing just a day shy of its one-year anniversary—how epic is that?!
Published by Microsoft, who snapped up Obsidian in the 2018 acquisition blitz, Avowed lets you dive head-first into a universe drenched in lore from the legendary Pillars of Eternity. Investigate mysterious plagues, wield power-packed weapons, and weave potent spells as you charge through breathtaking landscapes in this first-person thrill-fest!
What’s even cooler? The PS5 drop is packing a punch with a massive anniversary update hitting ALL platforms. Expect thrills with a brand-new 'New Game Plus' mode—carry your epic gear over, reset to level 1, and face off against formidable, revamped foes. Plus, flex your creativity with a photo mode, embrace three fresh playable races, switch up your look on-the-fly from the overworld, and unleash a brand-new weapon type!
Preorder now from the PlayStation Store: snag the standard edition for just $50 or go big with the $60 Premium Edition, complete with a digital artbook, soundtrack, two exclusive player armors, and eight killer companion skins. No word yet on a physical release, but who needs discs when you’ve got adventure in the digital age?
Avowed may have landed a 6/10 on GameSpot, with Alesseandro Barbosa noting its promise. The expansive combat system offers creativity but wrestles with gear upgrades and resource scarcity. Still, the adventure is just that—legendary.
Join the ranks of Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and other Microsoft-published legends making their way to PS5. Plus, don’t miss the PS5 and Switch 2 version of South of Midnight, announced at the 2025 Game Awards. Ready your DualSense for adventure, because Avowed is about to make history on PS5!
