Microsoft is set for an interesting year in 2025, and Avowed is leading the charge for the green brand. Xbox Game Pass is one of the company’s leading benefits, and a partnership with Avowed could help both Obsidian and Microsoft at the end of the day.
Xbox Game Pass is a simple model—you pay a monthly fee, and you get free games. Game Pass’ library continues to grow month by month. It has players constantly wondering if they need to fork out top dollar on new AAA titles when they might be part of Xbox Game Pass.
Avowed is looking like being one of Microsoft’s bigger exclusives in 2025—with titles such as Forza Horizon 5 making their way over to PS5—so let’s see if Game Pass users get to play it for nothing.
Can You Play Avowed on Xbox Game Pass?
Avowed is coming to Xbox Game Pass as a day-one title, meaning if you have an active subscription, you can play Avowed on Game Pass from February 18.
The “Avowed – Official Announce Trailer” on Xbox’s official YouTube channel (back on July 23, 2020) made waves. It’s a teaser, for sure, but it has enough substance and gameplay to stir up players for a new Obsidian franchise. Curiously, it makes no mention of Xbox Game Pass throughout its duration.
But thanks to some journalistic digging, I did find it in the video’s description: “Play day 1 on Xbox Game Pass.” With not long to go until February 18, five years is suddenly nothing!
Its status has remained unchanged for the last five years, meaning it is indeed a day-one Game Pass launch for Xbox and PC users. The news was also confirmed in the February 2025 Xbox Game Pass games reveal.
How Long is Avowed on Xbox Game Pass?
Neither Microsoft nor Obsidian has commented on how long Avowed is staying on Xbox Game Pass.
It’s the kind of question that always comes up. You don’t want to miss out, and neither do I. FOMO is a powerful tool, but sleep easy knowing exclusive games like Avowed are usually on Xbox Game Pass for several years—and longer.
Are you happy to see Avowed coming to Xbox Game Pass? Do you think it can go one better and outdo Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds 2 in 2025? Share your thoughts and feelings.
