Of all the games that are set to come from Xbox Game Studios in the near future, it is no wonder whyAvowedis one of the most anticipated.

The Success of Xbox Game Pass in 2023
Interestingly, the service may be set for its strongest year in 2023 in terms of its day-one releases. For example, the service surprisingly launchedHi-Fi Rushto positve reviews in January, with high-profile titles havingcome to the service such asMinecraft Legends. Despite this success, the very recent and anticipated Game Pass release ofRedfallmissed the mark of what was expected of it. It is clear to see how releases such as this can inform the overall opinion of the Game Pass service for better or for worse, and the remainder of the year is geared up to be quite important for howAvowedwill eventually be received.
Xbox Game Pass and Avowed
Upcoming Xbox Game Pass day-one releases includetitles such asHollow Knight SilksongandForza Motorsport, with there still being a lot of appeal for the subscription service throughout the rest of 2023. While these titles will of course help bolster the breadth of content that comes with Game Pass,Avowedwill possess great expectations closer to its release regardless.
Avowedis set to come from Obsidian Entertainment, being one of the most ambitious titles to ever come from the veteran studio. With the release already drawing comparisons tothe massively popularElder Scrollsfranchise, the source of the excitement regarding the game is more than apparent. Despite this, somewhat comparable levels of anticipation were present for the aforementionedRedfall, which can only exacerbate any negativity publicity that a game may receive.
It is likely that this will have a residual impact on howAvowedis looked upon by fans closer to its release, withRedfalldampening what has otherwise been a great run of form for the Game Pass service. As a result, gamers may be more wary ofAvowed, wondering whether it is worth their time and keeping their eyes on reviews before trying it through Game Pass. Despite this relative outlier, Xbox Game Pass remains a platform that is still growing in confidence and content, and the remaining titles to come to the service throughout the year will likely spell good news overall forthe possible launch ofAvowednext year.
