Everything you need to know about how to pre-load Dragon Age: The Veilguard on all platforms, pre-load dates, file size, and more.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is admittedly one of the biggest releases of 2024, if not the biggest. Not only does it mark the return of one of the most beloved RPG franchises after almost a decade of hiatus, but it’s also the game that marks developer Bioware’s return to their “roots.” The Veilguard is currently available for pre-order on all platforms, and it’s even available to pre-load on some of the systems. Much like publisher EA’s previous titles, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is available to pre-load on Xbox Series X|S consoles, almost two whole weeks ahead of its release.
And unlike some of the recent Xbox first-party titles, a la Senua’s Saga Hellblade 2, Starfield, etc., the pre-load for The Veilguard includes the entire game instead of just a small part of it. Furthermore, while the pre-load isn’t live on PlayStation 5, we do know when it’s going to go live. Here’s everything you need to know about Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s pre-load, file size, and more.
What Is Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s File Size
According to the PC system requirements, Dragon Age: The Veilguard requires roughly 100 gigabytes of storage space. Furthermore, Bioware highly recommends installing the game on an SSD instead of a traditional HDD. Based on the Xbox pre-load, the game’s download size is roughly 92.70 GB. While the file size on PC might be a bit higher, on PS5, it probably will be the same as the Xbox Series X|S version. Also, it seems the cosmetics DLCs that come as part of the game’s pre-order and Deluxe Edition incentives aren’t a separate download.
While The Veilguard doesn’t come close to something like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, or Forza Horizon 5 in terms of its file size, it’s still a pretty big download. As such, if you’re on a slower internet connection, it’s probably best to pre-load the game to avoid having to wait for hours to download the title on release.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is currently available to pre-load on Xbox Series X|S. On PlayStation 5, the game will be available to pre-download onOctober 29, 2024, at midnight local time. On PC, Bioware has not revealed any pre-load specifics. However, on Steam, most games are available to pre-load roughly 24 hours prior to release. That being said, here’s how you can pre-load The Veilguard on all platforms once it goes live:
Xbox Series X|S
PlayStation 5
