Will Avowed come to PS5? Xbox exclusivity explained

With Xbox continuing to release its exclusive titles on other platforms, there's a possibility of Avowed heading onto Sony's consoles.

So where does Avowed stand on the spectrum of exclusivity? Keep on reading for everything there is to know about Avowed's potential PS5 release.

Did Avowed come to PS5 at launch?

No, Avowed did not release on PS5 as of the game’s launch. You cannot currently play Avowed on PS5.

The only way to play Avowed is on Xbox or PC.

Based on what Microsoft has been doing with its "exclusive" games recently, though, this could change and an Avowed PS5 port could be released sometime in the future.

Could Avowed come to PS5 later?

Avowed could come to PS5 at a later date but nothing has been said by Microsoft, Xbox or Obsidian Entertainment about a PlayStation port of the game.

The Outer Worlds 2, the next game by Obsidian, is set to be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on the same day as one another – Avowed could join it in going multiplatform, eventually.

There has been nothing official said on a PS5 version of Avowed, but many fans are thinking (see: hoping) that a smile, nod and raised eyebrows could mean the game is on the way to Sony’s current-gen console.

During an interview with MinnMaxx, Avowed director Carrie Patel smiled, did a small nod and shrugged their shoulders (while raising their eyebrows) when interviewer Ben Hanson said: "Avowed is obviously coming to PS5 at some point."

In addition to Carrie Patel offering insight into Avowed's potential PS5 release, the head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan revealed more about its plans to release exclusives on other platforms.

In Xbox's official podcast, Duncan says "it's good for gamers" and "it's good for our studios."

"Our studios make amazing games, and we want to give those games the chance to reach the broadest audience possible."

Which platforms can play Avowed?

Avowed can be played on Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam, Xbox app and Battle.net). It is on Game Pass for console and PC, too.

You can purchase Avowed on Xbox from GAME (Premium physical edition – no disc, though) or on Xbox or PC (Steam) from CDKeys.

As of writing, these are the only platforms confirmed to play Avowed, with no official word on a PS5 or Nintendo Switch 2 version.

For now, you’ll have to make do with playing the game on Xbox Series X/S or PC. Time will tell if it becomes available on other platforms in the future.
