Dragon Age: The Veilguard PC Features Detailed Ahead of Launch
Further Updates on PC Features, Companions, Gameplay, and More Coming Soon!
In a recent developer journal, BioWare has pulled back the curtain on what PC players can expect from Dragon Age: The Veilguard before its launch. The studio has focused on delivering a rich set of features, including extensive customization options, advanced display settings, and seamless integration with Steam's offerings like cloud saves, Remote Play support, and compatibility with the Steam Deck.
Alongside this announcement, Nvidia released an "RTX Announce Trailer" confirming the game's release date of October 31. BioWare's dedication to the PC platform, where the Dragon Age series began, shines through their efforts. "The Dragon Age franchise started out on PC, and we wanted to make sure PC is a great place to play our game," the studio emphasized. To ensure this, they've invested approximately 200,000 hours in performance and compatibility testing on PCs, which represents 40% of their total platform testing efforts.
Moreover, BioWare has committed nearly 10,000 hours to user research, refining controls and UI functions to cater to various setups. Players can look forward to native support for PS5 DualSense controllers with haptic feedback, as well as support for Xbox controllers and traditional keyboard and mouse setups. A unique feature allows players to switch between controller and keyboard/mouse setups seamlessly, either during gameplay or in menus. The game also introduces customizable class-specific keybinds, enabling personalized control schemes. Additional features include support for 21:9 Ultrawide displays, a Cinematic Aspect Ratio toggle, customizable field of view (FOV), uncapped frame rates, full HDR support, and Ray Tracing capabilities.
