Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be a lot better for PC players than its predecessor in terms of features, according to a new Bioware blog. Anyone who played Dragon Age: Inquisition on the platform will remember the strange controls and camera, but the longtime developer is putting a lot of work into it this time around.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard – Release Date, Prices, Morrigan and More
For starters, Bioware says it spent 10,000 hours of user research to ensure that the controls and UI feel great on both keyboard and mouse and controllers (which ties in nicely with the Steam Deck’s verified status). What does that mean? Native support for PS5 DualSense controllers with haptic support, Xbox controller support, and of course, keyboard and mouse support. Plus, you’ll be able to switch between keyboard/mouse and controller mid-game or in menus, and you can customize your class-specific key bindings and switch between them at your leisure.
If 10,000 hours doesn't satisfy you, the studio says they put a whopping 200,000 additional hours into performance and compatibility testing for the PC version (I'm beginning to understand why many studios skimp on the PC version).
In addition to a full suite of graphics options (including Ray Tracing, DLSS 3, a heavily customized FSR 2.2, XeSS, frame generation, and NVIDIA Reflex) that are rendered in real-time as you change them, you can expect Ultra Wide and HDR support, and uncapped frame rates. And there’s more to come.
