Retail Pre-Orders Are Three Times Lower Than Star Wars Outlaws!

Story Highlight
  • Dragon Age: The Veilguard seems to be suffering from poor pre-orders. 
  • An insider has revealed that the game has three times lower retail pre-orders than those of Star Wars Outlaws. 
  • There are just two weeks left before the game’s release, and it isn’t even among the top 20 Steam best sellers. 

Dragon Age: The Veilguard had a lot of anticipation behind it. Its prequel was a solid hit, and fans have been waiting for a decade to enjoy a new entry in the series. That was the main reason for all the hype and anticipation. 

However, after every reveal, the hype died. Now, there are just two weeks before the launch, and it is still not doing well on the Steam best-seller chart. A new report has revealed that the retail pre-orders are really poor, as they are three times lower than Star Wars Outlaws

Why it matters: Despite the high anticipation, the game is suffering from poor pre-orders. Fans are not buying this game because they think it has gone ‘woke.’ 

Dragon Age The Veilguard Poor Pre Orders
Dragon Age The Veilguard Retail Pre-Orders Are Reportedly Really Poor

Stuttering Craig, the owner of the Side Scrollers Podcast, has recently revealed on Twitter that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has only sold 1957 copies as preorders. He got this information from a retail insider.

Between both the “gold” and standard editions, in their 800+ stores, they have just under 2000 pre-orders between PS5 & Xbox: PS5: 1552 Xbox : 405 Total: 1957.

While it is not official, it seems like Stuttering Craig is right about the figure. That is because an outlet, That Park Place, also revealed that the game has three times fewer retail pre-orders than Star Wars Outlaws and Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. 

The media outlet seems to have received this information from a retail insider who manages over 900 stores. The insider revealed that Star Wars Outlaws had sold 6469 retail copies as pre-orders. Among them, 5,341 copies were sold for PS5, and 1398 were sold for Xbox. 

Ubisoft recently confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws sales were softer than expected, so we are only wondering what will happen with the upcoming title in the Dragon Age series. That said, the title is available on Steam, the fans’ favourite platform, so it might see more sales. 

So far, the situation seems grim for the game. What do you think about the game’s poor pre-orders? Are you excited for the release? Let us know in the comments section below, or join the discussion on Tech4Gamers’ official forums
