A new Xbox game is launching on PlayStation 5 and will be optimized for the upgraded PS5 Pro console right away. This shows Xbox is surprisingly supportive of its competitor, even more so than Sony has been with its own hardware. Recently, Sony released a PS5 exclusive game that doesn’t take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s extra power, and this has happened before. It’s unclear why Sony is making these choices. Meanwhile, most Xbox games released on PS5 are already optimized for PS5 Pro at launch, despite Xbox having little reason to support a rival console – yet they continue to do so.
Last February, Xbox’s Obsidian Entertainment released Avowed, a new fantasy role-playing game. While it wasn’t their best game so far – reviews averaged between 77 and 81 on Metacritic – it was still one of the better RPGs of the year, though not a contender for the top spot. Originally available only on PC and Xbox Series X, Avowed is now also on PS5, and players there are enjoying it. It currently has a 4.65 out of 5 rating on the PlayStation Store, based on over 1,000 reviews.
PS5 Pro Support Confirmed, But Details Missing
The PlayStation Store shows that Avowed will be improved on the PS5 Pro, but it hasn’t specified how the Pro version will differ from the standard PS5 version. Players who’ve tried Avowed have noted that it doesn’t perform exceptionally well on consoles, so the increased power of the PS5 Pro could potentially make a significant improvement.
So, if you’re like me and want to jump into Avowed on PlayStation 5 or the new PS5 Pro, you’ll have to pay the full $49.99 right now. I’m hoping we’ll see some discounts later in the year, but it’s not included with PS Plus, so that’s the only way to get it at the moment. One slightly disappointing thing I noticed is the game’s page doesn’t say anything about special features for the DualSense controller, even though it does mention support for the PS5 Pro.
