Obsidian is starting to look like one of the best purchases Xbox has ever made, with a run of releases that has been consistently strong. In 2025 alone, the studio has delivered not one, not two, but three genuinely great games.
It kicked the year off with Avowed, a game I am literally downloading as I write this. That was followed by Grounded 2, an Early Access sequel that builds confidently on everything that made the original special.
