As the launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard draws near, BioWare has shared thrilling insights into the PC experience that awaits players. The excitement is building, and fans are eager to learn more about the game's upcoming features.
In their latest developer journal, BioWare has given PC gamers a sneak peek at what they can expect from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The studio has emphasized a suite of features designed to enhance the PC experience, including robust customization options, advanced display settings, and seamless integration with Steam’s native features like cloud saves, Remote Play support, and compatibility with the Steam Deck.
Alongside the announcement, Nvidia released an "RTX Announce Trailer," confirming the game's release date set for October 31. BioWare, keen on delivering an exceptional experience on PC—the platform where the Dragon Age series began—has invested significantly in this endeavor. The team dedicated around 200,000 hours to performance and compatibility testing on PCs, which constituted 40% of their overall platform testing efforts.
Moreover, BioWare conducted approximately 10,000 hours of user research to perfect the controls and UI across various setups. Players can look forward to native support for PS5 DualSense controllers with haptic feedback, as well as support for Xbox controllers and keyboard and mouse configurations. The game also offers the flexibility to switch between these input methods during gameplay or in menus. Additionally, customizable class-specific keybinds will enable personalized control setups. The Veilguard will support 21:9 Ultrawide displays, a Cinematic Aspect Ratio toggle, customizable field of view (FOV), uncapped frame rates, full HDR support, and Ray Tracing features.
