It's still early, but Xbox Game Studios and Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed is already off to a strong start in sales. At the time I'm writing this, Avowed is the best-selling game on Steam in the U.S, and it's in the top five best sellers for Steam globally. Naturally, that doesn't include anyone playing Avowed on PC through Blizzard's Battle.net service or via the Xbox app on PC. It also obviously doesn't include anyone playing on Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Avowed is currently only available for anyone buying the Premium Edition on Steam, though Xbox Game Pass users can buy the Premium Upgrade separately and play early that way. This has been an increasing trend with Xbox first-party games over the last couple of years, and it's set to continue in 2025 with Compulsion Games' South of Midnight and id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages.
