BioWare has announced that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be "Steam native," meaning players won't need the EA App to play the game on Steam. This decision is a significant departure from most EA-published games that require the EA App for access.
Why This Matters
Traditionally, EA games on Steam necessitate the EA App, which replaced Origin in 2022, causing frustration among PC gamers. For instance, games like Apex Legends and Dragon Age Inquisition require EA account linkage and EA software installation to play on Steam.
Community Response
The gaming community has warmly welcomed this move. The decision follows backlash against similar practices, such as Sony's requirement for a PlayStation Network account to play certain games on Steam.
Features and Launch
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is also verified on Steam Deck, ensuring compatibility and optimized performance on the handheld device. BioWare has confirmed that the game will fully utilize Steam features without needing the EA App.
Release Information
While there’s no specific release date yet, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is slated for a fall 2024 launch. BioWare has assured fans that they are making significant progress and more details will be revealed later this summer.
Additional Insights
BioWare recently unveiled the voice actors for the game's companions, many of whom are returning talents from previous installments. All companions will be romance options for players. More details about the game, including its difficulty options, combat system, and character creator, were shared at San Diego Comic-Con on July 26.
