In the run up to Avowed launching on Xbox Game Pass, we're hearing more about the shape of the game following its 2024 delay - and it sounds like Xbox Series X users will have plenty of performance options on day one.
After finding out the game can at least run "up to 60FPS", a new interview with game director Carrie Patel has revealed even more Avowed performance details. Here's what the Obsidian dev had to say when talking to Last Stand Media:
"Optimization and performance tuning — that's all been a more recent effort for us — but yes, as you noted we're going to have Performance mode. We'll also have Balanced mode, which is sort of in-between Quality and Performance, for players who have a 120Hz TV."
This means that, for those with supported TVs, there should be three gameplay options here for Avowed; which is a big improvement on 30FPS - that was supposedly the main target back in August 2024. Standard 60Hz TV users will likely just have Quality mode at 30FPS and Performance mode at up to 60FPS.
For now, we don't have any real detail on the Xbox Series S version of Avowed in terms of performance, so we'll just have to wait and see how the all-digital console is shaping up on release. For all of the launch details on Avowed, check out our full Pure Xbox guide down below.
