Avowed

Welcome to the Living Lands, a mysterious island filled with adventure and danger. Set in the fictional world of Eora that was first introduced to players in the Pillars of Eternity franchise, Avowed is a first-person fantasy action RPG from the award-winning team at Obsidian Entertainment. The Living Lands is a place that feels foreign yet somewhat intrinsic to you as it feels the island itself is calling out to you for help. Explore an island home to many different environments and landscapes, each with their own unique ecosystem. Mix and match swords, spells, guns, and shields to fight your way. Dig into your grimoire for spells to trap, freeze or burn enemies, bash them with your shield, or use range bows to attack from a distance. Companions from a spread of species will fight alongside you, with their own unique set of abilities. From a former mercenary to an eccentric wizard, they will be part of your journey with your choices shaping them as you help them with their quests.

  • Use the FPS card first if you want a quick answer for your current PC.
  • Use the update and review links below when a game is new, patched often, or still getting mixed reports.
  • When benchmark coverage is thin, treat the estimate as directional and prioritize the GPU before chasing smaller CPU gains.

FAQ

Quick answers

Does this page include PC performance data?

Yes. SpecBeacon can estimate FPS for this game with the current seeded benchmark coverage.

Is the score an official review score?

No. The SpecBeacon Score is an internal reaction signal. It is not copied from Metacritic, OpenCritic, Steam, or the publisher.

What matters most for getting more FPS?

In most cases, GPU choice and resolution move the estimate the most. CPU and RAM usually refine the result rather than replace the GPU signal.
