Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the upcoming fourth major installment in the Dragon Age series. The first game, titled Dragon Age: Origins released in 2009, the sequel Dragon Age 2, was released in 2011, and part three, Dragon Age: Inquisition, was released in 2014. And now, ten years after the last one, the fourth Dragon Age game is almost upon us. It is made with state-of-the-art technology in mind and is set to be released on October 31. Speaking of state-of-the-art technology, Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro is set to release a week after Dragon Age: The Veilguard, on November 7. And we can safely say that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have the PS5 Pro Enhanced tag.
Dragon Age The Veilguard and PS5 Pro Enhanced
On October 15, EA, the publishers of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, posted a new “journal” entry, where they talked about the specs and preload info for the game. However, on the subject of PS5 Pro, and EA’s Technical Director had this to say:
“We are excited to see how Dragon Age: The Veilguard will lean into the power that PS5 Pro unlocks for players. Whether you love deep progression, strategic combat, or diving into the lore of Dragon Age, you will immediately notice the improved experience with PS5 Pro. The game’s Fidelity and Performance modes will both see improvements on the hardware, including improved resolution in 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance modes. Additionally, there will be various improved visual settings across 30FPS Fidelity and 60FPS Performance mode.
The team at BioWare is proud of how immersed players will be when they enter the beautiful world of Thedas, with upgraded image quality thanks to Sony’s new AI-based upscaler, PSSR. We’ve enabled Raytraced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO) in the 60FPS Performance mode, which previously was only available on the base PlayStation 5 with 30FPS Fidelity mode.”

The number of games that will fully support everything PlayStation 5 Pro has to offer increases daily. Dragon Age The Veilguard will join other PS5 Enhanced games, like God of War Ragnarok and Lies of P.
