Studio head Fergus Urquhart admitted that the financial results of Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 were a "slight disappointment" for the corporation. But, according to him, it's not a catastrophe, but a painful lesson. Although some players have already called the project a disappointment, data from the Xbox Wire blog shows a significant audience.
In terms of daily active users, Avowed outperformed a number of major releases. It surpassed Monster Hunter Wilds, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on the list.
Moreover, Avowed became one of the three single-player games in the ranking, which is dominated by multiplayer projects like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Grounded 2. The top three also included the new Doom and the updated The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
It seems that Avowed did not become the "new Skyrim" in terms of revenue, but in the Game Pass ecosystem it has taken a firm position among fans of Obsidian's classic approach to storytelling.
