No EA App Needed to Play Dragon Age: The Veilguard on Steam

BioWare has announced that the upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be "Steam native," meaning players won't need the EA App to enjoy the game on Steam. This decision comes in response to longtime frustrations with mandatory EA App integration, making it a relief for PC gamers. The game is also verified on Steam Deck, ensuring a smooth experience on Valve’s handheld device. BioWare shared that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is on track for a fall 2024 release, with more details expected later this summer. The studio has also revealed the voice talent behind the game's companions, including returning actors from previous installments. This news coincides with the SAG-AFTRA strike of video game voice actors, highlighting ongoing industry negotiations.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will not require the EA App on Steam, making it more accessible for PC gamers. The game is also fully verified for Steam Deck, ensuring a seamless gameplay experience on the portable platform.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest installment in BioWare's critically acclaimed Dragon Age series. Known for its rich storytelling, complex characters, and deep role-playing mechanics, the series has captivated gamers since the release of Dragon Age: Origins in 2009. The Veilguard looks to continue this tradition, offering new companions, romance options, and improved gameplay mechanics. The game’s development has been closely watched by fans, particularly after the mixed reception of Dragon Age: Inquisition and the anticipation surrounding BioWare's comeback.
