Exact start time and date

Avowed is Microsoft’s first major release of 2025, and excitement is rising for the title from Obsidian Entertainment. If you can’t wait to dive into the adventure, we have all the details you need on exactly Avowed will become available.

Set in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity in the world of Eora, Avowed is a first-person fantasy action RPG where the focus is investigating a mysterious plague rumored to be spreading throughout the Living Lands.

With the ability to mix and match swords, spells, guns, shields, and more to craft a combat approach that suits you and plenty of stories to explore, Avowed has plenty to offer—and we can tell you exactly how much longer you need to wait.

Avowed release date and time

Avowed releases on Tuesday, Feb. 18 worldwide, but like many other releases, you can get into the action as early as Feb. 13 by purchasing the Premium Edition of the game. You can upgrade to the Premium Edition for $19.99 if you have a Game Pass subscription.

Developer Obsidian has not officially announced release times for the full release but has confirmed that early access will begin at 10am PT/12pm CT/1pm ET/6pm GMT on Feb. 13, which is 5am AEDT on Feb. 14 for those down under.

Use the countdown below to see exactly how long is left until the early access of Avowed is live, right down to the minutes and seconds.

For those holding out for the full release, the countdown below is ticking down to midnight CT on Feb. 18. We’ll update this article if a more precise release time is announced like it was ahead of the early access release.

What platforms will Avowed release on?

Avowed is a Microsoft-exclusive title and will therefore only be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC at launch, although the current shift in approach by Microsoft may lead the title to other platforms in the future.

That is merely speculation at this point, however, and there is no concrete evidence that Avowed will head to additional platforms later down the line.
