Avowed, the action-RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, is the latest Xbox exclusive to launch on PS5. The game released on PC and Xbox Series S/X consoles in February 2025 and is now available on PlayStation exactly a year after its launch. Alongside the PS5 version, Avowed has also received an "anniversary update" that adds new features like New Game Plus, photo mode and more.

Pretty much every game has RPG elements these days, so if you squint hard enough, you can make the case for a lot of games being RPGs, even if they don't follow the same formulas and structures the genre historically has. Because the definition of what makes an RPG has gotten looser over the years, any list of the best ones in any given year is pretty much guaranteed to have a ton of variety, including everything from action-packed open-world sprawls to strategic retro throwbacks.
