Avowed is set to make its grand entrance on Windows PC and Xbox Series X this Tuesday, February 18. Those eager players who have gotten their hands on the premium editions had the chance to dive into the game five days earlier during its exclusive early access period. For those subscribed to Game Pass, the standard version comes included, offering a convenient way to jump into this new release.
In Avowed, you’ll embark on a thrilling journey through the Living Lands, part of the renowned Pillars of Eternity universe of Eora. If you’re a PlayStation 5 user, though, you might feel a bit left out as there’s no news yet from Xbox Game Studios about making Avowed available on PlayStation. However, the publisher has shown signs of branching out beyond Xbox platforms, so stay tuned for any future announcements.
Curious about when you can start playing Avowed in your time zone? I’ve got you covered with all those details below, plus a bit of guidance on playing through Game Pass.
(Quick note for February 17: This post has been updated post-early access to give you the latest on the full release.)
If you’re on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, prepare to dive into Avowed’s standard edition on February 18. Make sure you know which version of Game Pass you have, though, because if you’re on Standard or Core, Avowed won’t be available.
For those who can’t wait and want to enhance their gaming experience, the Premium Upgrade Add-On is available for $25. This nifty add-on granted early access starting February 13 and also came with bonus cosmetics for your companions. Be aware, however, that if your subscription ends, so does your access to the game and its goodies. Not to worry, renewing your subscription means you’ll regain your add-on contents and your save files, which makes this add-on an appealing deal compared to purchasing the complete Premium Edition.
