Avowed Multiplayer: The Answer Revealed

by Isabella May 03,2025

If you're eagerly anticipating Obsidian Entertainment's *Avowed*, you might be wondering if it's the fantasy adventure you can share with friends. Often dubbed as the studio's take on *Skyrim*, *Avowed* leans closer to the style of *The Outer Worlds* but in a magical setting. However, when it comes to multiplayer features, the answer is straightforward: *Avowed* does not support multiplayer in any form.

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

*Avowed* is strictly a single-player experience. While you'll have companions to assist you in your journey, these are all non-player characters (NPCs), similar to those in *The Outer Worlds*. Every enemy you encounter, from the smallest creature to the mightiest foe, will be controlled by the game's AI. There's no feature akin to *Sniper Elite*'s invasion mode where other players could disrupt your game. In short, *Avowed* offers no PvP, no invasion mode, and no co-op mode whatsoever. Interestingly, this wasn't always the plan.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

Avowed, the character fighting a bear-like monster.If you recall *Avowed* being advertised with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Obsidian Entertainment initially intended to include multiplayer co-op in the game. However, they shifted focus during development, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). The feature was initially used as a selling point to attract investors. While this pivot might have disappointed some, *Avowed* stands strong as a compelling single-player experience.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no public information about any planned *Avowed* co-op mods for PC. While it's possible that modders might eventually create such a mod, it would be a complex task compared to simpler modding projects. For comparison, *Skyrim* received a co-op mod years after its initial release, but Obsidian has no plans to officially add co-op to *Avowed* post-launch.

So, to wrap it up, *Avowed* remains a solo adventure without any multiplayer components. If you're curious about its availability on other platforms, you might want to check if *Avowed* is coming to Game Pass.
