- Despite initial criticism, Avowed has become a critical and commercial success.
- Avowed peaks at over 17,000 players on the day of full release, making it a success for Obsidian.
- Avowed is the best-selling game on Steam in the United States.

- Now, following Avowed's full release on February 18, the game is off to a respectable commercial start. Despite being available on Game Pass, Avowed peaked at over 17,000 concurrent players on the day of its full release. This peak is approximately 5,000 players higher than Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, another Game Pass title.

- Avowed's 17,000 peak players on Steam isn't far off the peak number of players for The Outer Worlds (20,300), one of Obsidian's most successful releases. Given the number of players likely playing on Game Pass and Xbox Series X/S, Avowed will likely be considered a commercial success for Obsidian, especially given that games often have a lengthy tail-end sales period.

It still needs to sell 1.9 million to make a profit and sense Microsoft owns both Obsidian and Gamepass, Obsidian is likely getting much less then other studios would. Meaning the bulk of their revenue would come from sales not gamepass.

Estimated at about 100k, that is a terrible amount if they want to make money.

Oh by the way OP, this article is looking made by AI.
Like putting buzzword and marketing lie.

For comparaison, take this AI generated text : " Avowed is an upcoming fantasy roleplaying game that promises to transport players to a vast, immersive world filled with magic and mystery. With its richly detailed landscapes, intricate storyline, and engaging gameplay mechanics, this title is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the genre. While specifics are scarce, the anticipation builds, fueled by whispers of a deep crafting system and extensive character customization options. As the wait continues, enthusiasts eagerly speculate about the secrets awaiting discovery within the realm of Avowed. "

That was generated by an IA with only basic google information provided. Don't blame this generated text if there is some things that are wrong.

Now, read this article again and focus on the words that are being used.

I can only speculate because i have no proof but this article look like very fishy.

And if it is indeed generated using IA, i let you imagine what the prompt was.

Some chatters here are really cute. Yes that guy is just baiting clown badges. I don't really understand if people in here are just very young so they dont get this or if they are actually that smart that they think it's a real opinion.

This must be a paid shill right? The article is nothing more than an advertisement. If you so fervently try to convince me to buy a video game I will not.
