IGN recently teamed up with the folks at Neverwinter Connections to chat with the Obsidian and here are the chat logs in case you missed it.
We analyze the PC version of Avowed from a technical standpoint: graphics, performance, settings, and more.

The point is that the threshold for solid perfromance can not be $2000. That would be a terrible outcome for consumers.
@Eonjay
You can have better performance in anything if you lower settings, consoles do it all the time, practically to abysmal levels. However, that threshold for "solid" that some are use to is a visual eyesore to someone else with reference to better. To get console equivalent or well above doesn't require meeting that price point as an acceptable threshold. Personally it'll be a cold day in hell before I call sub 60 sub 1440p native "solid", that to me is broken.
Grounded, the survival game by Obsidian where you've been shrunk to the size of an ant, is now listed on Steam for a 2021 full release.
Dam, they lost this exclusive to PC, this is a big blow. Wonder if we will get a million articles like they do anytime sony loses a exclusive. Hmmmm. #ExclusivesSellConsoles.
They didn't lose anything. Any and all first party games for Microsoft go to PC. Why would this be any different? It's an Obsidian game...Microsoft owns them.
Did I miss the story? Is this coming to PS5, Stadia and Switch? Or does he just mean Windows?
Obsidian, the developer behind Fallout New Vegas and The Outer Worlds, doesn't do crunch.
