Dragon Age: The Veilguard Embraces Steam

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is breaking the mold by being “Steam native,” meaning players won’t need the EA App to enjoy the game on Valve’s platform. This is a departure from the usual requirement for EA-published games to use the EA App, which has caused frustration among PC gamers in the past.

For instance, popular titles like Apex Legends and Dragon Age Inquisition typically require an EA account, EA online activation, and Origin software installation to play on Steam. But with Dragon Age: The Veilguard, EA and BioWare are embracing Steam fully, much to the delight of the gaming community.

The decision to go all-in on Steam comes at a time when players are pushing back against unnecessary account requirements, such as Sony’s recent mandate for Steam users to create a PlayStation Network account to access certain games. BioWare has also confirmed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is verified on Steam Deck, further solidifying its commitment to the platform.

Anticipation Builds for Fall 2024 Launch

While the game’s release date is still up in the air, BioWare has assured fans that progress is being made towards a fall 2024 launch. Details on the official release date are expected to be announced later this summer. In the meantime, fans can look forward to learning more about the game’s companions, romance options, and other exciting features at San Diego Comic-Con.

As the anticipation for Dragon Age: The Veilguard continues to build, players can stay updated on the latest news and details about the game’s mechanics and characters. With BioWare’s dedication to delivering an immersive and engaging experience, the upcoming sequel is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the franchise.
