Along with the publication of system requirements, the developers announced the exact release date. Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released on October 31 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Pre-loading on Xbox Series opened yesterday, and on PlayStation 5 it starts on October 29. There will be no pre-loading on PC due to the lack of anti-piracy protection.
