Dragon Age: The Veilguard launched on October 31 and debuted at number six on the US sales chart for its release month, indicating a solid performance but falling short of reaching launch sales comparable to major titles like Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and Dragon's Dogma II. Analyst Mat Piscatella provided insight that due to its late launch in October, The Veilguard had only three days of sales reflected on the chart, unlike its competitors. Furthermore, a lack of Steam sales data, provided by EA, means its digital sales were not fully accounted for, which might have boosted its position. Although initial sales were respectable, they did not match the significant launch week sales of other recent games, and it remains to be seen how it will fare in overall sales compared to previous Dragon Age titles. The game already sees a Black Friday price drop, suggesting strong promotional efforts to attract players.
