According to Digital Foundry, the PlayStation 5 version of Avowed, announced in January 2026 with features like a New Game Plus mode, three new playable races, and a Photo Mode, lacks dedicated PS5 Pro enhancements. Avowed on the PS5 offers three graphics modes: Quality at 1440p and 30fps, Performance at 1080p and 60fps, and a Balance mode targeting 40fps with enhanced visuals compared to the Performance mode. These options mirror those available on the Xbox Series X, with no special mode developed for the PS5 Pro. Instead, the PS5 Pro runs the standard PS5 graphics modes, delivering slightly improved performance. The PS5 version of Avowed will support Game Pass Premium and Ultimate. The game properly implements Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and the PS5’s VRR implementation yields better performance, especially in higher frame rate modes.

Optimizing Avowed for PS5 Pro Overlooked? Digital Foundry Notices Minor Improvements on PlayStation 5 Pro

While Avowed reportedly appears sleeker on the Xbox Series X, it essentially mirrors the resolution and settings of that version on the PS5 Pro, offering only minor improvements. Internal resolutions for the Quality and Performance modes on PS5 peak at 1440p and 1080p, respectively. Digital Foundry notes that Obsidian apparently made no effort to optimize the game for the PS5 Pro, for example by using PSSR, resulting in slightly better visuals and firmer performance.
