Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the highly anticipated next entry in BioWare’s long-running RPG series, has made a significant announcement for PC gamers. The game, set to launch later this year, has been confirmed to be Steam Deck Verified, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience on Valve’s handheld gaming device.
But that’s not all. BioWare has also revealed that the PC version of Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be a native, standalone release, meaning players won’t have to use the EA App to play the game on Steam. This is a welcome change for many PC gamers who prefer to avoid additional launchers and software requirements.
The news comes after the game’s recent reveal at the Xbox Summer Showcase, where BioWare presented a sneak peek at the game’s opening, highlighting a new visual style and faster-paced gameplay. While these changes initially caught some fans off guard, BioWare has emphasized that Dragon Age: The Veilguard remains a massive RPG, boasting 700 characters and 140,000 lines of recorded dialogue.
The confirmation of Steam Deck Verification and a native PC release is a positive sign for the game’s optimization and performance. It demonstrates BioWare’s commitment to providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for PC gamers. This decision also breaks the trend of publishers requiring their own launchers even for games released on Steam, which has been a source of frustration for many players.
With Dragon Age: The Veilguard now confirmed to be Steam Deck Verified and a native PC release, players can look forward to a smooth and immersive experience, whether they’re playing on their desktop or on the go. The game’s exact launch date and system requirements will be revealed later this summer.
