Avowed Isn’t Available on PS5 Yet, but Mods Are Here to Bridge the Gap

Currently, Avowed doesn’t have a release plan for PlayStation, but if you’re using a PC, some creative mods can help you pretend it does.

Let’s face it, you might think Avowed is destined to land on PlayStation eventually. Why wouldn’t it, right? Xbox chief Phil Spencer often talks about expanding game reach to multiple platforms. There’s even buzz about Halo possibly appearing on the Nintendo Switch 2. With these trends, it’s hard to envision Avowed not making its way to the PS5, even if it takes a while. But for now, it’s exclusively available on Xbox Series X/S and PC. Both are great platforms, but personally, I lean toward the PlayStation interface—it feels more like home.

One reassuring thing in this scenario is the modding community, always ready to lend a hand. Already, a mod exists to swap the game’s controller interface to PlayStation buttons. Need to interact? Hit the trusty square button. Unsure about jumping? The familiar cross button has you covered (unless you’re in the unique world of Kingdom Hearts, where things are a bit different). This mod, crafted by NeuroticNinjah, is straightforward but effective, perfect for those who prefer a PlayStation controller on PC yet dislike mismatched button prompts.

This isn’t the only tweak you can make to capture that PlayStation vibe. Modder Chachinito has created another mod that swaps out the Avowed splash screen for the PlayStation Studios one. While it doesn’t change gameplay, it offers a touch of amusement for PlayStation enthusiasts who are navigating the Xbox-exclusive waters on PC. Sometimes, a little playful spite adds some fun to the mix.

We’ll have to wait and see if Avowed eventually finds its way to PlayStation, perhaps before any potential DLCs or sequels emerge, which, given the typical timelines in the industry, wouldn’t be surprising.
