Avowed director says Xbox and Microsoft are “very happy” with the reception to its new Obsidian RPG
In an interview with Eurogamer, Avowed director Carrie Patel mentions that she doesn’t rely on a strict measurement of success. Since the first-person spin-off of Pillars of Eternity is available on Xbox Game Pass, players can either purchase the game at full price or play it through a monthly subscription. This approach allows gamers to try out the game without having to pay the full cost upfront, but for developers like Patel, this means that traditional sales numbers might not accurately reflect the game’s success because of the subscription option.
