Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment's RPG, has become a major win for Microsoft, attracting 5.9 million players on Xbox Game Pass in its first month. This surpasses Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny's 4 million players within the same period. Leveraging the popular Pillars of Eternity universe, Avowed's success is confirmed by mindGAME Data, which analyzes player engagement, streaming views, and search trends.

Despite positive reviews and strong sales, Microsoft's investment in Avowed (estimated between $80 and $120 million) necessitates sustained player engagement beyond the initial launch. Maintaining current subscribers and expanding the player base through strategic marketing, potential expansions, and exploring multi-platform releases (like a PlayStation 5 version) are crucial for long-term profitability.
While initial player interest is high, Microsoft must ensure Avowed remains a valuable asset for subscriber retention. Consistent content updates and increased accessibility will be key to its continued success in the competitive gaming landscape.
