Which platforms is Avowed releasing on?

Can you preload Avowed?
Avowed has a partial preload available right now for Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass. The file is just a placeholder, however, weighing only 324.8 MB – the game is, of course, expected to be much larger than that, around 75 GB according to some suggestions.
