Avowed Rises as the Second Most Popular Game on Xbox Game Pass

by Jonathan Mar 03,2025

Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment's latest title, has become a major win for Microsoft, boasting 5.9 million players in its first month on Xbox Game Pass. This surpasses Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny's 4 million players within the same period. Leveraging the established Pillars of Eternity universe, Avowed continues to attract significant attention, according to mindGAME Data, which monitors player activity, streaming views, and search trends.

Despite positive reviews and strong sales, Microsoft's investment in Avowed—estimated between $80 and $120 million—requires sustained player engagement for a strong return. Maintaining current player numbers and attracting new ones through effective marketing, potential expansions, and possible releases on platforms like the PlayStation 5 are crucial for long-term success.

While initial player interest is high, Microsoft must ensure Avowed remains a valuable asset for subscriber retention. Consistent content updates and wider accessibility will be key to its continued success in the competitive gaming landscape.
