Avowed is the next big RPG from Obsidian that’s coming to multiple platforms and the Xbox Game Pass service for PC and consoles. Avowed is also the first title from the publisher that supports cross-buy functionality.

This is different from Play Anywhere, as that doesn’t take other stores and clients into account. Here is everything you need to know about the cross-buy feature for Avowed, and what clients and platforms it supports.

Players who purchase Avowed on either Xbox or Battle.net will be able to play the game on either client or platform for their singular purchase. Here is a breakdown of what this means:

Overall, this is an excellent addition to the already useful “Play Anywhere” feature that we’ve seen for multiple titles on Xbox storefronts.

Avowed is coming to PC through Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox Series S|X on February 18, 2024.

If you pre-order the Premium Edition for Avowed, you can start playing five days early starting from February 13, 2025. This is the same across all platforms and clients, whether you’re buying Avowed on PC or consoles. Early access incentives seem to be a common trend with several Xbox releases including Starfield, as well as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

We hope that this is the plan for future releases as well, as I personally prefer using the Battle.net client over the Xbox App.
