Obsidian Entertainment has launched Avowed on PlayStation 5, one year after its initial release on Xbox and PC. The anniversary update, Patch 2.0, introduces New Game Plus mode, three new playable races, a photo mode, and a new weapon type. These additions aim to enhance replayability and accessibility for both new and returning players.
The latest update for Grounded 2, titled The Toxic Tangle, brings a new Garden biome filled with challenges and resources. Players can now ride a ladybug equipped with a water cannon to navigate and fight in this expanded world. This development signals progress toward the game's full release since its Early Access launch in 2025.

Obsidian Entertainment's 2025 releases Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 received positive reviews but fell short of sales expectations, while Grounded 2 proved a major success. Studio head Feargus Urquhart described the RPGs' results as disappointing yet instructional, prompting reflections on development cycles. The company now aims for shorter timelines and has no plans for The Outer Worlds 3.
Chris Avellone, co-founder of Obsidian Entertainment, revealed on X that the studio is not planning The Outer Worlds 3 while focusing on Avowed 2 and DLC for The Outer Worlds 2. This statement comes shortly after The Outer Worlds 2's launch on October 29 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series S|X. Avowed, released earlier in 2025, has shown mixed success on Game Pass.

Players will be able to switch freely between combat modes during gameplay.
