Avowed File Size Confirmed As Preloading on Xbox and PC Opens
Though most reports confirmed anAvoweddownload size of about 74 GB, there seems to be some variation between platforms and users. Some users on Steam and PC using the Xbox App reported download sizes varying from 71 to 73 GB. Microsoft did not explain the discrepancy, though 75 GB of free space is called for on the officialAvowedPC system requirements. Some on social media suggested that the variation was normal, falling within differences in the way some platforms measure storage. Others speculated that the preload file size is not entirely complete, with the early download holding some files back to prevent leakers and pirates from playing the game before the appointed time.
Whether they’re looking to learn more about the previously unexplored Eoran region of the Living Lands or wanting to try outthe non-traditional class system ofAvowed, excitement among fans and newcomers for the game is running high. With luck, that excitement will translate to success for Obsidian and open the door for new games in thePillarssetting.
