Avowed, the highly anticipated fantasy RPG from Obsidian and Xbox, takes the crown on Steam’s Top Sellers List just days before its official launch. With a promising reception and solid review scores, it seems like both Obsidian and Xbox are gearing up for an exciting new chapter.
Avowed is the Top Selling Game on Steam Right Now
Avowed currently reigns supreme on the official live Top Sellers chart on Steam. It has outperformed other popular titles, including Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, along with multiplayer staples like Counter-Strike 2 and Marvel Rivals. This dominance in sales hints at what could be a blockbuster launch.
The game has experienced impressive player engagement during its early access phase, peaking at over 9,000 concurrent players on Steam. Do keep in mind that this figure only accounts for those who purchased the premium edition; it doesn’t include console gamers or those waiting for the standard version or Game Pass. As we move into the weekend, these numbers will likely continue to rise.
A positive critical reception accompanies this strong sales performance. On Metacritic, Avowed currently holds around an 80 rating across both PC and Xbox platforms while boasting a “Very Positive” score of 82% from users on Steam. It’s encouraging to see such enthusiasm from players!
This momentum reflects a broader trend in new game releases for early 2025. Among the top ten games selling on Steam right now, four are fresh titles released or set to release within the first half of this year: Avowed, Civ 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Elden Ring Nightreign.
