Xbox Series X and S owners can now personalize their consoles with a dynamic background based on the acclaimed artwork from Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming game, Avowed. Lauded for its striking visuals, the artwork made waves among gamers when it was revealed earlier this year during the Developer Direct. Obsidian, known for The Outer Worlds and the Pillars of Eternity series, has developed Avowed to be an immersive first-person experience blending melee combat, firearms, and magic. Set within the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, Avowed is expected to launch later this year on Xbox Series X and S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass, providing players with a rich narrative without the need to have played the previous titles.
