Ahead of the release, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson mentioned that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has “breakthrough potential” and, it seems, he was right.

As noted by IGN, the success of Dragon Age: The Veilguard makes it EA’s most popular premium single-player game on Steam. The company’s multiplayer and shareware projects at one time reached great heights.

As for reviews, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is “generally positive” (79% positive). Users complain about technical problems and criticize design and script solutions.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released on October 31 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, EA App), PS5, Xbox Series X and S. Unlike the vast majority of previous EA releases, the new game on Steam does not require the EA App launcher to work. .
