Official Launch Times for Avowed’s Full Release
To date, Obsidian has not announced specific launch times for the full release of Avowed, which is slated to debut on February 18, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S and PC. Notably, the game will be available from day one on Game Pass, allowing players without the Premium Edition to join in on the adventure simultaneously.
Both the Xbox Store and Steam currently confirm February 18, 2025, as the official release date. However, while it is wise to check for availability from 12:00 AM EST, there is a possibility that the game’s full release may not occur until five days following the start of the early access, which begins at 1:00 PM EST on February 13, 2025.
Players eager to dive into the Living Lands can begin preloading Avowed now on both Game Pass and PC. The anticipated file size ranges from 71 to 75 GB, with slight variations across platforms. Those who preload the game will be poised to embark on their journey the moment it launches.
