Dragon Age: The Veilguard specs and absence of third-party DRM confirmed

BioWare has provided a new Dragon Age: The Veilguard update detailing the full specifications and pre-load times for the game.

The game’s PC specs, which include settings for both ray tracing on and ray tracing off, are viewable in the image below.

“Dragon Age: The Veilguard won’t include any 3rd party DRM (such as Denuvo) on any platform,” BioWare also confirmed.

On PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, there will be fidelity and performance modes, targeting 30 FPS and 60 FPS respectively.

The game will also be enhanced for PS5 Pro, which launches in November, one week after Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s October 31 release date.

“The game’s Fidelity and Performance modes will both see improvements on the hardware, including improved resolution in 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance modes,” said BioWare studio technical director Maciej Kurowski. “Additionally, there will be various improved visual settings across 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance mode.

“The team at BioWare is proud of how immersed players will be when they enter the beautiful world of Thedas, with upgraded image quality thanks to Sony’s new AI-based upscaler, PSSR. We’ve enabled Raytraced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO) in the 60FPS Performance mode, which previously was only available on the base PlayStation 5 with 30FPS Fidelity mode.”

The game will be available to pre-load on Xbox Series X/S beginning on October 14 and on PS5 from October 29. “The lack of DRM means that there will be no preload period for PC players,” BioWare said.
