It’s almost time to return to the world of Thedas, but there’s still some time yet before we can get our hands on Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This game has been in the works for years, undergoing many changes, but is finally arriving on Halloween. We’re all excited to create our own Rook and dive back into the story with new and familiar faces. If you’ve been waiting as long as we have, every second counts, and the last thing you want is to sit at your PC or console waiting for the game to download. We want to help you get right to the fantasy goodness by telling you all the preload details you need for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard release time
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch 9 a.m. PT/noon ET on October 31. You can reference the above map to see your specific time zone.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard file size
The only storefront listing a file size as of now is Steam, which suggests players have at least 100GB of storage space. We imagine consoles will need slightly less, but aim to have at least that much on all platforms just to be safe.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard preload options

Sadly, PC players will not be able to preload the game. This is because the game will not feature any DRM.
