Can I Run Avowed?
Released in 2025, Avowed is a role playing game built by Obsidian Entertainment. Publishing duties went to Xbox Game Studios. The game supports a single player campaign. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Over 12 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It carries 50 achievements. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way.

Setting and environment
Avowed places its action in a fantasy world, and the player works through one continuous open world. Play is presented from a first person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Avowed has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The publisher supplies 17 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Avowed is demanding
Avowed is a heavy title. Its Graphics: AMD RX 6800 XT / Nvidia RTX 3080 target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Avowed properly. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Avowed scales hard with the hardware you give it. The install is small at roughly 75 GB. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Avowed calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Avowed?
Avowed is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a Graphics: AMD RX 6800 XT / Nvidia RTX 3080-class graphics card, with AMD RX 5700 / Nvidia GTX 1070 / Intel Arc A580 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Avowed needs about 75 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.64x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.36x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.16x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
Common GPUs

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |

Each card is compared against Avowed's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
