Avowed Multiplayer: The Answer Revealed

If you're a fan of immersive single-player experiences, *Avowed* by Obsidian Entertainment might be right up your alley. Often compared to *Skyrim* but more akin to a fantasy version of *The Outer Worlds*, *Avowed* promises a deep, engaging world. But what about playing with friends? Is *Avowed* multiplayer?

Does Avowed Support Multiplayer Co-op or PvP?

Unfortunately, *Avowed* does not support multiplayer in any form, be it co-op or PvP. You'll embark on your fantasy journey solo, with only NPC companions by your side, similar to what you experienced in *The Outer Worlds*. Every adversary you face, from the smallest critter 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 can disrupt your adventure. In *Avowed*, multiplayer is entirely absent—there's no co-op, no PvP, no invasion mode, nothing. However, this wasn't always the plan.

What Happened to Avowed’s Planned Multiplayer?

If you recall *Avowed* being advertised with co-op features, you're not experiencing the Mandela Effect. Initially, Obsidian Entertainment did intend to include co-op in the game. As development progressed, they decided to pivot away from this feature, feeling they were "too focused on co-op" (via Dexerto). Co-op was initially used as a selling point to attract investors. While this shift might have disappointed some, *Avowed*'s single-player focus remains strong and compelling.

Is There an Avowed Co-Op Mod?

As of now, there's no public information about any planned co-op mods for *Avowed* on PC. While it's conceivable that a mod could be developed in the future, creating such a mod is a complex task, far more challenging than, say, modding dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage in *Skyrim*. Speaking of *Skyrim*, that game did receive a co-op mod years after its release, but Obsidian has no plans to officially add co-op to *Avowed* post-launch.

So, to sum it up, *Avowed* does not offer multiplayer support. If you're interested in more details, check out our article on whether *Avowed* is coming to Game Pass.
