Dragon Age The Veilguard system requirements

Following its release date reveal, the Dragon Age: The Veilguard system requirements were also posted on the Steam store page. Unsurprisingly, Bioware is following in the footsteps of many recent game releases by only requiring an Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics card to get it running.

In addition to not needing the best graphics card, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is also equally light with its CPU demands. In fact, the only requirement you might struggle with is the 100GB of free SSD storage which is required even for the minimum tier.

Here are the Dragon Age: The Veilguard system requirements:

Take our Dragon Age: The Veilguard system requirements PC benchmark test to answer the question… Can I run Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

The Dragon Age: The Veilguard minimum requirements provide no major roadblocks or surprises beyond the chunky file size, although the 16GB of RAM you’ll need might see some older gaming PCs and laptops require an upgrade.

The Dragon Age: The Veilguard recommended specs are about where I expected them to sit and are in line with many other modern triple-A releases. Many developers are turning to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 as a recommended GPU, although some do still use the RTX 2060, despite it being quite underpowered even at the time of release.

As for the Dragon Age: The Veilguard download size, the game tips the scales at 100GB, so not as huge as Baldur’s Gate 3, but a fair chunk of your storage space is required nonetheless. This storage space will also need to be one of the best SSDs for gaming at the recommended tier while an SSD is just ‘preferred’ if you’re looking to meet the minimum requirements.

As great as it is to have the system requirements well before release, what we really want to see is tiers for the best performance possible so we know what hardware is required for 60fps at 1440p and even 4K. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 is usually where 4K demand sits but without pre-release guidance, there will be some early benchmarking required.

One bit of performance news we already have though is that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is Steam Deck Verified, meaning you’ll have no issues running the game on the best handheld gaming PC.

In other great news, it’s been revealed that you won’t need to run the EA App in order to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard as the game will instead run natively through Steam.
