Avowed Surpasses 5.9 Million Players in Its First Month

Obsidian Entertainment’s latest RPG, Avowed, has made an impressive debut, attracting 5.9 million players within its first month of release. This figure surpasses the 4 million players recorded by Bethesda’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in the same timeframe.

Breaking Down the Numbers

The estimated player count for Avowed comes from a mix of Game Pass users, Steam concurrent player data, and overall search interest. While these numbers are unofficial, they highlight the game’s strong performance, especially for a title available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.

On Steam, Avowed peaked at nearly 20,000 concurrent players, demonstrating solid engagement despite its presence on Microsoft’s subscription service. In comparison, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle peaked at 12,000 concurrent players but holds a higher Metacritic score of 86 compared to Avowed’s 81.

What’s Next for Avowed?

The game’s director has expressed satisfaction with its performance, suggesting that Avowed has met expectations. Given its success, there are already discussions about expanding the IP, potentially with DLCs or even a full sequel.

With a strong start and high engagement, Avowed could become one of Obsidian’s next big RPG franchises, further solidifying the studio’s reputation in the genre.
