PS5 Can’t Run Avowed Yet, But Modders Already Help Simulate the Experience

Currently, Avowed is not set for a PlayStation release, but PC players have some creative mods that help bridge the gap.

Many of us are probably wondering when Avowed will eventually land on PlayStation. After all, Xbox boss Phil Spencer frequently emphasizes bringing their games to various platforms. There’s even talk of Halo possibly making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. This makes it hard to imagine a scenario where Avowed doesn’t hit the PS5, even if it might take a year or so. For now, though, it’s an Xbox Series X/S and PC exclusive. Honestly, they’re not bad options, but I do have a soft spot for the PlayStation interface—it just feels like home.

Thankfully, modders have our backs. There’s already a mod available that swaps the game’s controller UI to display PlayStation buttons. Curious about which button to press for interactions? The square button’s got you covered. Wondering how to jump? The cross button is your trustworthy guide (unless, of course, you’re diving into the delightful quirks of Kingdom Hearts). This mod, crafted by NeuroticNinjah, is straightforward and appeals to those impatient gamers or those who simply prefer the PlayStation controller feel on PC.

But that’s not all! Modder Chachinito has devised another mod that swaps the Avowed splash screen with one from PlayStation Studios. It doesn’t change the gameplay but adds a touch of familiarity for PlayStation fans who might feel a bit peeved about it being an Xbox title. Sometimes, a little humor born out of rivalry adds a fun twist to things.

Of course, we’re all curious whether Avowed will land on PlayStation before any DLC or sequel sees the light of day. Given how long these developments can take, it’s a waiting game. Let’s see what happens!
