- Dragon Age: The Veilguard has shattered all expectations to reach 70K concurrent Steam players.
- This makes it BioWare’s biggest release and EA’s biggest single-player title on Steam.
- Over 70% of the reviews are also positive.
BioWare has found its footing with Dragon Age: The Veilguard again. Following positive reviews and praise for the PC port, it was clear that the team had created an exciting RPG for fans worldwide.
However, many were still doubtful about the commercial performance since Dragon Age: The Veilguard showed signs of potential disappointment a few weeks before launch. Fortunately, all doubts have been dispelled, and the RPG has already achieved over 70K players on day one.
Why it matters: Ahead of its release, the latest Dragon Age entry failed to make it to the top of Steam’s best-sellers. The game was also surrounded by plenty of controversy, leading to doubts about its success.
According to SteamDB, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has peaked at just over 70,400 players. This makes it the biggest BioWare release on PC by a mile, but the player counts also earn this title another major accolade.
The RPG has outpaced every other single-player release from EA on PC, beating out highly popular titles like last year’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which peaked at under 70K players.
Moreover, this may not be all for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. With Saturday right around the corner, the game could see player counts soaring even higher as more people get the chance to finally jump in over the weekend.
It is also important to note that this player count represents the Steam population. Console figures will likely be similar, earning BioWare a much-needed win after the failures of Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem.
Those looking to pick up the studio’s latest RPG on PC can rest assured that the team has delivered an excellent PC port. The Steam version also works without any additional launchers and Denuvo DRM, making it miles better than most AAA PC offerings.
At the time of writing, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is Steam’s best-selling game. The reviews tell similar tales of success, with more than 70% of them being positive. All things considered, this is a huge comeback for BioWare and EA.
