Xbox Games from Xbox Studios on PS5 in 2026: Avowed Releases with Anniversary Update

According to reports, Xbox will release several games produced by its studios on PlayStation 5 throughout 2026, including Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed, which originally launched in February 2025. The PlayStation Store and other retailers such as PSNCardCode, GameTop, and CDKeys offer various options for adding funds to a PlayStation Network wallet. Available currencies include USD (between $10 and $100), EUR (€10 to €250), PLN (z 100 to z 1,100), SEK (2,900 kr, or between 1,800 kr and 2,900 kr), and NOK (between 2,000 kr and 3,000 kr). Avowed’s PlayStation 5 release is slated for February 17, 2026, and will coincide with the Anniversary Update for existing versions of the game. This update will introduce New Game Plus, Photo Mode, a new weapon type, additional character presets, and more.

PlayStation 5 Launches Avowed at Discounted €49.99, Premium Edition Offers More for €59.99

The PlayStation 5 version of Avowed will cost €49.99, which is €20 less than its original launch price of €69.99 on Xbox Series and PC in February 2025 (where it also launched on Game Pass). Prior to the PS5 release, the price of Avowed was standardized at €49.99 across all platforms. The Premium Edition of Avowed is available on the PlayStation Store for €59.99, a savings of €30 from its original price last year. This premium version includes a digital art book, the game’s soundtrack, two play armors, and eight companion skins. Developed by the producer of Fallout: New Vegas, Avowed is an action RPG playable in third-person but designed for first-person perspective. Releasing Avowed on PlayStation 5 expands the audience for what was one of Xbox’s flagship titles in 2025.
