Avowed has climbed the charts to become Steam’s number-one-selling game globally.
Avowed reached Steam’s Top Seller list four days before its full release, becoming America’s number-one-selling game on Steam. Now, spotted by Gameranx, an X post by Aaron Greenberg, VP of Games Marketing at Microsoft, reveals Obsidian has clinched the top spot in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Finland, and more, making the game the number one selling game globally on the platform.
Avowed’s becoming a global top seller on Steam is an exciting achievement for Obsidian, considering the game is available for free through Game Pass. If players head over to SteamDB, they will see that Obsidian’s new action RPG is topping the charts for ‘Trending Games’ and ‘Popular Releases’, too. Avowed peaked at 17,171 players on Steam on its launch day.
For those wondering, Avowed is Obsidian’s latest fantasy action RPG, which takes players to Eora’s mysterious world, first seen in the Pillars of Eternity franchise. You enter the Living Lands, an island filled with ancient magic and many mysterious secrets. Your decisions here will shape the fates of the inhabitants of this world. You will also face off against some nasty foes, but don’t worry; your arsenal is filled with swords, spells, guns, and shields, and your trusty grimoire will get you out of any sticky situations.
In other news, Avowed isn’t open-world because “the pacing is really tough” without zones. Also, check out how companions work in the game. What are your thoughts on Avowed becoming a global top seller on Steam? Let us know in the comments or on our community forum!

Not it hasn’t this thing is flopping
It’s already been knocked off top seller by monster hunter, and only had a peak player count of 17k which is laughable. KCD 2 topped out at 256k. Absolutely pathetic numbers for a developer such as Obsidian.
