News Sparks Community Excitement
It's difficult to tell whether the sales figures for the last year played a role in this price drop. Aside from official figures being especially hard to estimate for GamePass games, the company had previously been quoted as being "happy with sales so far" by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier. Regardless, sales have likely slowed a year later.
By reducing the barrier for entry, the company creates an injection of new players who were on the fence, waiting for a sale. And it seems to be working to some degree. With the price drop, PS5 launch, and Anniversary Update, renewed enthusiasm has sparked among fans in the community, as well as attracted new players. Many have also expressed great interest in finally diving into Avowed or returning to try its expanded features.
This sentiment has been particularly strong on Reddit, where fans shared their anticipation for the game’s broader platform availability and enhanced content. One user commented, "Super excited to finally give this a shot with the anniversary update," highlighting the growing positive buzz as the release date approaches.
Avowed is positioning itself as a more accessible and compelling option for RPG fans. Between expanded systems and new gameplay features, the game aims to deliver a deeper, richer fantasy experience for both new players and veterans alike.
Avowed is currently available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. For more thoughts and information on the game, check out our review below!
