“The margin benefit of forcing people to use a proprietary PC marketplace just isn’t worth the lost additional volume of not putting a game on Steam,” he wrote on X. BioWare’s long-awaited Dragon Age: The Veilguard still lacks a launch date, but is expected to arrive sometime this autumn for PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In a pleasantly surprising move, BioWare will launch Dragon Age: The Veilguard natively via Steam on PC, meaning there’s no need to download and install the fussy EA App.
Reacting to the news of Dragon Age: The Veilguard launching native via Steam, games industry analyst Mat Piscatella said he believed the decision by EA would “lead to significant additional sales”.
Still, it’s likely he’s referring to further Dragon Age details, in the run up to BioWare’s next project launching at some poin this autumn.
