While playing first-person games, a lot of folks experience motion sickness. Feeling like you’re going to spew all over your keyboard, coffee table, and/or cat is never fun, so if you’ve picked up Avowed and feel like you might erupt, here are the best settings to reduce motion sickness.
In most first-person games, the thing that generally makes you feel sick is head movement options and other things related to field of view and motion blur. The same is true of Avowed.

In most cases, this should help you not experience motion sickness while playing Avowed. Feel free to play with the settings to get the right level of immersion that allows you to play the game without feeling awful.
In the event that removing head bobbing and camera shake don’t help, go to Settings and select the “Graphics” tab. Right at the top, under basic settings, you’ll see sliders for “Field of View” and “Motion Blur.” Here’s what you need to do:
If you’re still feeling motion sick, continue to play with those settings, and consider toggling in and out of first-person view into third-person view as necessary. However, if it feels like all is lost, don’t try and push through. Take a break, get some water (no, seriously), and try again later.
And those are our picks for the best settings to reduce motion sickness in Avowed.
Avowed is available now.
