Release, Start Time, Preload, and Price
When will the game be released? The regular release is on October 31. Depending on where players are located worldwide, the exact start times may vary. In Germany, fans can start at 5:00 PM.
Is there a preload? Those on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S can and could already download the game. PC players will have to wait until the official release, as a hated feature is missing on the platform. On all platforms, you should plan for about 90 GB of free storage space.
How much does the game cost? That depends on which of the two editions you choose:
- Standard Version: €59.99
- Deluxe Edition: €79.99
What does the Deluxe Edition offer? In addition to the game and all contents included in the Standard Edition, you will receive a variety of cosmetic items such as armors or weapons. They can be equipped in the game and are purely for aesthetic purposes, while the actual equipped gear with its stats lies beneath.
Furthermore, there is a third package, called “Rook’s Treasure Chest,” that costs €140. This includes, among other things, a replica of the Lyrium dagger, a card game, and an enchanted die. Note: This package does not include the actual game – it is an additional package for fans.
After a long wait, it is finally time, and the gates to Thedas will open for the players. If you encounter questions on your adventure or are generally looking for assistance, feel free to visit our overview: Dragon Age: The Veilguard – All Guides
