Dragon Age: The Veilguard is BioWare’s biggest launch on Steam, reaching the top spot on Steam’s sales charts and knocking down Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
According to SteamDB, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has peaked at 70,414 concurrent players within the first 24 hours of its release. This beats out BioWare’s previous record of 59,817 concurrent players for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.
BioWare put extra effort into making sure the PC version of Dragon Age: The Veilguard was up to snuff on Steam. The game is verified on Steam Deck, and passes Valve’s internal tests on inputs, display, performance, and seamlessness. A technical breakdown of the PC version by Digital Foundry revealed it to be an excellent port, which is often not the case at launch for major game releases on PC.
