Avowed makes its debut today across Xbox, PC, and Game Pass, but it arrives with a unique twist: a synchronized global launch time. Unlike many Xbox titles that may unlock at midnight in each respective time zone, Avowed’s release is set to occur simultaneously worldwide. This means that players will experience the thrill of the game at different local times depending on their geographical location.
For those who opted for the Avowed Premium Edition, the wait is over; early access began on February 13, allowing dedicated fans to immerse themselves in the game ahead of the general release. However, for the rest of the players, while pre-installation is available, the game will not be playable until the official launch time. Below are the specific release times for various regions:
- USA (Pacific Time) – Tuesday, February 18 at 10am
- USA (Eastern Time) – Tuesday, February 18 at 1pm
- UK (GMT) – Tuesday, February 18 at 6pm
- Europe (CET) – Tuesday, February 18 at 7pm
- South Korea (KST) – Wednesday, February 19 at 3am
- Japan (JST) – Wednesday, February 19 at 3am
- Australia (AEDT) – Wednesday, February 19 at 5am
- New Zealand (NZDT) – Wednesday, February 19 at 7am
Avowed: Availability on Xbox Game Pass
Avowed is set to be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, but it’s important to note that not all tiers of the service will grant access to this highly anticipated title.
- Game Pass Core: This tier provides online multiplayer and a selection of back-catalogue games, but it does not include new titles on launch day. Therefore, Avowed will not be accessible to Game Pass Core subscribers.
- Xbox Game Pass Standard: While this tier boasts a larger library than Core, it also excludes new releases on day one. Avowed will not be available immediately but may be added in the coming months.
- Game Pass Ultimate: This premium tier offers cloud gaming and an EA Play membership, along with numerous day-one releases. Avowed will be available here, allowing subscribers to dive into the game as soon as it launches.
- PC Game Pass: Tailored for PC gamers, this version of Game Pass includes features similar to Ultimate, including day-one releases and an EA Play membership. Avowed will be accessible on PC Game Pass at launch.
- Normal Purchase: For those who prefer to buy the game outright, Avowed can be pre-ordered on platforms such as the Xbox Store, Steam, and Battle.net, aligning with the same release times mentioned earlier.
