However, this may stick in the craw of those who shelled out full-price for the game less than a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>A Premium Edition is also available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/tags\/ps-store\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>PS Store<\/strong><\/a> for $59.99, which includes a digital artbook and soundtrack, two player armours, and eight companion skins. There\u2019s a $10 upgrade available if you want to purchase this at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Said Premium Edition cost a whopping $89.99 when the game first launched last year, so that represents an even bigger saving at this stage in the title\u2019s lifecycle. As above, all prices have now been been adjusted across all systems to match the PS5 pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Avowed was a minor hit upon its original release, attracting an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/game\/avowed\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">80 Metacritic rating<\/a> and some fan acclaim. But Microsoft will be hoping this PS5 port \u2013 along with its adjusted price point \u2013 will help the game reach a much larger audience this time around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text source\">[source <a class=\"external\" title=\"External Link: https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/product\/UP6312-PPSA26136_00-0827146390058176\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/product\/UP6312-PPSA26136_00-0827146390058176\" target=\"_blank\">store.playstation.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related Games<\/dt>\n<dd class=\"first\">\n<\/dd>\n<dt>See Also<\/dt>\n<dd class=\"first\">\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/avatar.jpg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Sammy Barker\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As the Editor of Push Square, Sammy has over 15 years of experience analysing the world of PlayStation, from PS3 through PS5 and everything in between.
