AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Obsidian Entertainment announced that Avowed is launching on PlayStation 5 on February 17, coinciding with a massive free anniversary update that adds New Game Plus, a photo mode, new playable races, and more across all platforms.
Obsidian Entertainment has announced that Avowed is making the jump to PlayStation 5, continuing the steady flow of first-party Xbox titles arriving on competing platforms. As detailed in a recent interview during the New Game Plus Showcase, reported by IGN South Africa, the PS5 version is scheduled to launch on February 17. This release date lines up with the game's one-year anniversary, bringing a massive content drop to players across all platforms simultaneously.
The upcoming anniversary update aims to address many of the community requests that surfaced after the game's initial release. Players can finally dive into a New Game Plus mode, capture moments with a dedicated Photo Mode, and completely overhaul their character builds with three new playable races consisting of Aumaua, Orlan, and Dwarves. The patch also introduces a fresh weapon type, overworld appearance customization, and several quality-of-life adjustments.
Pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 version open today, while the anniversary update will land as a free download for existing owners on PC and Xbox. For a game that launched with strong writing and worldbuilding but faced criticism for playing its fantasy adventure a bit too safe, this substantial content injection gives both returning fans and new platform adopters a solid reason to jump back in.
