Dragon Age: The Veilguard surpassed expectations - 70 thousand players on Steam on launch day

Release Dragon Age: The Veilguard from BioWare was much more successful than many expected. After the first signs of a weak start due to a small number of pre-orders, the game managed to reach 70 thousand concurrent players on the very first day in Steam. According to SteamDB, the peak amount was 70 400 players, making it BioWare's biggest PC release and surpassing other single-player titles EAIncluding Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, whose peak was lower.

The gaming community has generally received the project positively - 79% positive reviews after 3200 opinions on Steam. It signals that BioWare may finally be able to turn around its losing streak after the failures of projects like Mass Effect Andromeda и Anthem. It is expected that the weekend may further increase the number of players, which will add to the popularity of the game and once again highlight its success.

It is important to note that the number of players specified in Steam, does not cover users of console versions, where there is also high interest. This makes the game a significant event not only for fans of the series, but also for BioWare, which was looking for a successful project against the backdrop of previous failures.
