Avowed - How to Change POV

First and Third Person view is available in Avowed. Read on to learn how to change POV from First to Third Person, in-game.

List of Contents

How to Change POV

Switch to Third Person by Pressing U or Right Stick

Avowed - Toggle Perspective

To toggle the view from First Person to Third Person, press U on PC or Right Stick (RS) on controller. You can keep pressing to cycle between either POV without having to go to the Settings menu.

Change POVs from the Settings Menu

Third-Person Toggle

Alternatively, you can switch to Third Person by navigating to Settings > Game > Camera and toggling Third-Person View. The same can be done by navigating to Settings > Accessibility > Camera and finding the same toggle.

Best POV Setting

First Person for Up Close Action and Deeper Immersion

Avowed - First-Person PoV

The First Person perspective in Avowed is the best POV setting to play Avowed in since combat is meatier and more visceral when played in this POV. Additionally, in First Person view, it'll be easier to spot loot because you aren't zoomed out from the world.

Third Person for Better Navigation and Awareness

Avowed - Third-Person PoV

The Third Person perspective gives a wider view of the surroundings making it easier to navigate platforming sections of the map. However, if you get motion sick in First Person, Third Person is a great alternative to enjoy the game.
