After what can politely be called “much hand-wringing” and impolitely be called “a lot of whining” online about Dragon Age: The Veilguard‘s art style, trailer choices, and action-adventure stylings leading up to its release, it seems the game isn’t struggling to move units.
In fact, the newest Dragon Age game is already setting records for EA. The RPG’s launch day on Steam garnered over 70,000 concurrent players, a few thousand more than Star Wars Jedi: Survivor managed at its PC launch. That’s good enough for EA’s best single-player launch on Steam, and considering the acclaim Jedi: Survivor garnered on the back of one of the world’s most popular entertainment IPs, the company has to feel good about where The Veilguard has situated itself in the current gaming landscape.
