Obsidian has revealed the official PC system requirements for its upcoming action RPG, Avowed. Avowed will be another new game that will be using Unreal Engine 5. So, let’s see what kind of PC you’ll need in order to run it.
Avowed will be a fully open-world game. According to its devs, its map will be “denser” and “more contrasted” at the same time than the one for Skyrim. Moreover, the game will have real-time weather and a very advanced character creation tool. Additionally, it will have a big focus on world reactivity.
The devs have stated that the PC version will support mods. Moreover, we know that the game will support both first-person and third-person viewpoints. Not only that there will be support for DLSS 3 and ray-traced reflections.
PC gamers will at least need an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel i5-8400 with 16GB of RAM and an AMD RX 5700 or an Nvidia GTX 1070 or an Intel Arc A580. The game will also require 75GB of free disk space.
Obsidian recommends using an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel i7-10700K with 16GB of RAM and an AMD RX 6800 XT or Nvidia RTX 3080.
Sadly, the devs have not shared the resolution, framerate and graphics settings these PC specs target. So, take these PC requirements with a grain of salt.
Microsoft will release Avowed on February 18th.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Can't wait. With the GPU makers having their showcases right before it'll be interesting to see if this game becomes something I'd upgrade sooner for. I think with all the GPU Makers having an upscaling solution now, as long as it doesn't hugely affect the image quality, I've gotten over it seeing it in the spec/requirements because more often than not the game still looks pretty good. Beyond that I just hope Id be finished with Tales of Graces F and Shadows by then.

It will also give you bjs and cast spells to make you look like brad pete and the more you have it installed, the more money it prints.
Come on.
Haha. Promises, empty promises that cannot be kept.
this game is for 12 years olds
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is being released on February 11th. Assassin's Creed: Shadows is being released on February 14th. And Avowed is releasing on February 18th. More games could be announced for that very crowded week also.
Judging by that roster KCD 2 should have no trouble in getting the most players.
fingers crossed.
The thing that would significantly decrease any momentum KCD2 might have is if they launch broken and/or with optimisation issues. KCD1 launched with issues, but this is the studio's sophomore game in general + using the same engine (Crytek), so here's hoping they've learnt their lessons.
Their publisher is definitely a concern. Deep Silver have long a history of pushing out unfinished games out the door.
You forgot about Monster Hunter wilds, 28th of February too.
What is up with wall releases in that month? Is it the end of the fiscal year somewhere?

I did. I realized that but you already made a comment about Monster Hunter Wilds on the 28th of February.
They have an incentive to launch things before March because that's usually the end of fiscal years for publicly traded companies.
Yet another generic Stutter Engine 5 game. How many of these games do we freaking need?
90% of AAA games are now either open world Unreal slop games or open world Sony slop games. Hundreds of games that all look and play exactly the same as the next. If you played one, you have played them all.
Is there anyone left besides Larian and Asobo who still knows how to make a custom engine.

Are these the system requirements for native resolution gameplay at 60 FPS, or are they for playing with upscaling to achieve 60 FPS?

That's a MAN, man!!
I tried to play that crap.. levels weren't interesting and too much running in mostly empty spaces. The moon costume guy?? was kind of funny.
They forced a lez story on the player for one of the companions.
Would definitely not pay money for "Outer Soy Worlds". Game was meant for soy fa*g*ts.
If it's the same team, not touching anything else Obsidian make.
lmao
asexual lesbian story one of the writers who looks exactly like that added her there.
I didn't play (nor do I care to) but all of the videos did make it seem like the most bland generic game with the message slapped on top.
I miss the days when the developers didn't force their own sexuality onto their work – Tim Cain used to make Fallout. But that was a long time ago.
tim cain said on his pride day video that there are people like us who say that the fact the industry is now more diverse means that you got worse story and characters but he doesnt see that at all…MY DUDE YOU MADE THE OUTER SOY WORLDS.
Yep, his videos on original Fallout are great but when it comes to the state of modern gaming and Bethesda's Fallouts he suddenly becomes insanely complimentary which makes me question his credibility.
Tim Cain was co-director on Outer Worlds 1, but he seems to either be blind to or in support of the current agenda pushing. From watching his Youtube channel (which is very good, IMO), you'll learn that he's mostly a programmer and game designer. Art + writing he admits to sucking at.
the team is full of ppl sick in the head.
We don't know what those identify as.
the writers of the game look exactly like this by the way and they added a asexual party member because they are are asexual feminists on twitter that look like this.
The writing in the game is terrible, nothing interesting ever happens and the humor "corporations are bad heh" but they got bought out by ms. Obsidian is dead.
I think Obsidian has 2-3 flops in them before microshaft pulls the plug.
All games are developed under UE5 !!
We are living in the era of =
-Dumbs
-R**ards
-F*gs
-Lazy
-Idiots
-M##F##erz
-A##H##les
= Developers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They should Close off = EA Farts+Ubishit + Epic (games)Fails + Pissizda (Bethesda)* + Take2 Too Money from stupid gamerz + ………etc
RiP Gaming !!
RiP Creativity !!
RiP Ingenuity !!
——————————-
* Great respect for True developers = id Software – Rockstar Games – CD Projekt Red + Santa Monica Studio + Asobo + Kojima Productions + ……… etc
respecting studios for using their own engines isnt worth it, also didnt kojima switch to unreal?
No, decima engine
I still don't respect CDPR for the BS they pulled with CP2077 including the tr*nny sh*t they included, and also they have that DEI hire and statement about ESG support.
combine that with how the game was not like witcher 3 and new vegas but a gta looter shooter and the fact they switched to unreal engine and cd project is dead now.
I respect their effort and enthusiasm although the ongoing war in Ukraine !! concerning the LGBT S##t they included in Cyberpunk !! i agree 1000% = it’s F###ing trash B##S##t Dark Agenda
I didn't really have as much problem with cyberpunk because of the theme of the game: Transhumanism.
You would expect to see every type of person in that kind of game. Which is absolutely fine. In the real world there are every type of person.
And it wasn't really necessarily shoved in your face except for the high sexuality all around the game in the form of posters and advertisements. Which again kind of fits in a cyberpunk world.
And the Claire quest didn't bother me that much except her wanting vigilante justice based on feelings. But I think it taught a lesson and that's fine. You could talk him out of it if you wanted.
And you have to remember CDPR took money from investors. This is how the dei is being pushed half the time. If you want a good loan or if you want a good interest rate then you have to include dei and support esg.
Did you ever look at AMDs policy statement to investors? Cringe.
This is why black rock and these other financial conglomerates need to be broken up. They have way too much power.
also cd project red is switching to unreal
"Avowed will be a fully open-world game."
Incorrect. It will consist of large zones, like Outer Worlds.

or souls clone slop or stardew valley slop, or looter shooter cop slop or extraction shooter coop looter shooter slop.
Activision, valve, dice, crytek, rockstar will hopefully keep developing their own solutions instead of relying on that less than subpar stutterfest engine and it's highly mediocre sorry excuse of ray tracing that performs no better than hardware ray tracing while looking worse and that nanite sh*t that only costs more rendering budget than your typical lod based system.
Decima Engine is good, but lots of zero dawn stuff… Hope Death Stranding 2 is good.
"A very advanced character creation tool."
AKA you can play as a tr@nny. Pass.
Another disgusting unreal engine slop, needs a 3080 just to play at 1080p30fps on low settings.
Anyone want to place bets? Odds are currently that the game will feature immersion breaking stutters as its made in stutter engine 5 (also likely coded by "easy does it", code-monkeys or coders who haven't got enough time to do proper optimizations along with asset designers that goes overboard without proper lod etc)
It should be UE5.3 and ideally it should he smooth.
probably another creep game satisfier
They think everyone is going to bend over and pay the RIDICULOUS price tag – $120 AUD I'm seeing. Someone is on more fentanyl than…. well… you know the rest!
I mean there are always the no-standards whales with $$ to burn but I hope everyone else gives them the finger which they deserve.
Destroy it with fire!
🤦🤣😂 pathetic this game was exciting to hear about years ago. But since the dei bridge woke nonsense this has turned to crap. Some Muppet lecturing you. Anything woke is sh*t as our president trump says.
#magga , make games great again
"Very advanced character creator". Sure like Starfield and Failguard? I think they both sucked.
