When can you play Avowed and is it available on Game Pass?

Select Language:

Fans are eager to know when they can dive into Obsidian’s new action RPG, Avowed. The game is set to be available on Game Pass, which makes sense since Obsidian Entertainment was acquired by Microsoft in 2018, and Avowed is being released under Xbox Game Studios. This means it’s a perfect fit for the subscription service offered on both console and PC. To help you plan your gaming session, we have the release times for Avowed across different regions.

The Avowed release date for Game Pass is February 18, 2025. While the exact release time hasn’t been officially announced, we can estimate based on the Steam listing and Early Access launch that Avowed will be playable at these times:

10 AM PST (US West Coast)
1 PM EST (US East Coast)
6 PM GMT (UK)
7 PM CET (Central Europe)
5 AM AEDT [February 19] (Australia)

If you’re a Game Pass subscriber, you’ll have the option to preload the game ahead of launch to ensure you’re ready to play. Alternatively, Xbox Game Pass members can purchase the Avowed Premium Upgrade Edition for $22.49 / £17.99 and gain early access starting February 13, 2025. This premium edition provides some additional benefits, including two bonus outfits for companions and access to the digital artbook and original soundtrack.

Is Avowed available on Game Pass?

Yes, Avowed will be available on Game Pass, free for subscribers on both Xbox and PC. Players on PC just need a standard PC Game Pass subscription, while Xbox Series X and S users will need the Game Pass Ultimate subscription to access it on launch day. This is because new releases are not included in the Core or Standard console subscription plans. It’s possible that Avowed may be available in these lower tiers at some point later on, but that’s not expected to happen anytime soon.
