Obsidian Entertainment’s action RPG Avowed has taken over Steam’s lists. The game quickly became the best-selling title, achieving this success just days before its official release and even after being included in Game Pass.
Avowed still managed to top Steam’s charts
Despite being available on Game Pass, Avowed still managed to top Steam’s charts . Aaron Greenberg, Vice President of Xbox Game Marketing, shared on Twitter that Avowed not only reached the top in the U.S. but also took the number one spot in major European markets such as the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Finland.

This rapid sales success propelled Avowed to the top of Steam’s global best-sellers list. Despite being available on Game Pass, the game attracted significant attention.
Another sign of the game’s popularity was seen on SteamDB, where the action RPG currently holds the top spots on both the Trending Games and Popular New Releases lists. On launch day, Avowed reached 17,171 concurrent players on Steam.
For those who don’t know, Avowed takes players to the world of Eora, which is part of Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity series. Set on an island full of ancient magic and mysteries, the game challenges players to make decisions that will shape the fate of its inhabitants. It offers a mix of combat, swords, magic, weapons, and shields.
Obsidian has stated that Avowed will not be an open-world game but will feature a structure divided into regions. Additionally, the game supports co-op gameplay.
