Game Pass Members Can Upgrade To Avowed’s $90 Premium Edition For A Fraction Of The Price

Following the successful launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, another big RPG–Obsidian’s Avowed–launches on February 18. If you’re planning to play the game as part of your Game Pass membership but want to play early and get additional bonuses, you can upgrade to the Premium edition at a discount.

The Premium edition sells for $90 and includes five-day early access to the game, two skin packs, and the Avowed digital artbook and soundtrack. Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members can purchase the $25 Premium upgrade for a $2.50 discount, bringing it down to $22.50.

The existence of the upgrade option isn’t new, and some past Xbox games have offered a similar upgrade option as well. But with Avowed launching very soon, it’s an important thing to know if you’re considering possibly upgrading to the Premium edition.

As a caveat, the Premium upgrade option is only available for Game Pass Ultimate ($20/month) or PC Game Pass ($12/month). Subscribers to Game Pass Standard or Game Pass Core are not eligible, nor is Avowed launching on day one into catalogs included in those membership tiers.

In related news, Microsoft offers a 14-day PC Game Pass trial for $1, so anyone taking advantage of that offer could play Avowed for only $1. Microsoft is known to remove this special deal ahead of the launch of a high-profile game, but that hasn’t happened yet. There is no $1 trial for Game Pass Ultimate, however.

Avowed is Obsidian’s first new release since 2022’s Pentiment. It’s not Obsidian’s only in-development project, either, as the studio is also making The Outer Worlds 2, which is planned for release this year.
