Avowed is getting a major update in February 2026 adding new game plus, photo mode, and more

Obsidian Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios have announced a new major update coming to Avowed in February 2026 timed with the game's anniversary.

Some content from this update was originally scheduled for release sooner, but it has been pushed to deliver a larger update offering new game plus mode, photo mode, a new weapon type, new character presets, the ability to change appearance in world, and much more. Check out the new Avowed update roadmap below:

Avowed is now available for Xbox Series X|S and PC (Microsoft Store, Steam, and Battle.net). Read Bryan's review of it here, my Steam Deck feature here, and our many Avowed guides here.

Greetings, Envoys! If you’ve been following our Update Roadmap, you’ll know we planned to release an update this fall. To break the bad news first: Avowed will not be receiving a fall update. The good news is that we’re shifting our efforts toward a larger update coming next February, timed with the anniversary of the game’s release.  

This update will include everything originally planned for fall, plus additional features that will make it our biggest update yet. Stay tuned as we head into the new year for more details on what’s planned for the Living Lands.
