Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the fourth mainline installment of the fantasy RPG series from BioWare, will be fully playable on Steam Deck, according to a new post from the developer that explains how the game has already been verified for use on Valve’s handheld PC ahead of its release later this year. BioWare added that the EA app will not be required to play the game, something that would suggest EA online activation (including software installation and background use) won’t be required unlike other recent EA titles, such as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
BioWare writes:
- “We’re making great progress towards our fall launch date and can confirm early that #DragonAge: The Veilguard is going all-in on @Steam features!”
- “We’re verified on Steam Deck.”
- “We’ll be Steam native – meaning the EA App will not be required to play the game.”
