The download could take a while, but it can also start now.

There are still around two weeks left until Dragon Age: The Veilguard is released. The time has come on October 31st – a full ten years after the last part of the series, Inquisition.

The preload has already started and now we know: If you want to download the RPG, you need a lot of free space on the console.

This is what we know about the preload and size of Dragon Age: The Veilguard

  • When does the preload start: The preload started on October 14th
  • How big is the game? 92.3GB on Xbox Series X

The size of just under 100 GB is hardly surprising for the extensive role-playing games. On the PS5 you will probably need a similar amount of free memory. We will update the article as soon as more information is available.

You also have to keep in mind that a day one patch can be added on the release day. If the preload hasn’t started for you yet: Colleague Alex reports that he had to start it manually on Xbox in the update tab under “My Games”.

This is what awaits you in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released on October 31st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC and follows on from the story of its predecessor.

However, you don’t need any prior knowledge as you will be introduced to the story and its characters and you will also play a completely new character with Rook. You can customize these in detail in the editor.

Here you will find a lot of information about the game:

You can get an impression of character creation in the video:

In The Veilguard, for the first time in the series, the fights take place mainly in real time and feel a little like God of War for colleague Kevin, who was already alluded to. However, the pause function is still available for certain actions. So there is synergy between Rook and Companions, which can trigger powerful combos.

Have you already pre-ordered and started the preload to be ready as quickly as possible or are you just waiting for the reviews? Is the download size as you expected?
