Dragon Age: The Veilguard is one of the most anticipated games of the year. Fans of Bioware's flagship franchise are eager to know when and where they'll be able to play this AAA title.

The game's narrative follows up the story after Dragon Age: Inquisition, and has the heinous Solas as the main antagonist. With the fate of Thedas depending on a group of misfits led by the main character (Rook) and the famous Varric Tethras as well as his "beloved Bianca," the stakes are higher than ever. So, before embarking on a journey to stop the world from breaking apart on October 31, let's figure out the precise time when the game launches for every fan around the globe.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Will Be My First DA Game, What Do I Need To Know?

I've played quite a lot of RPGs over the years, and I've heard a lot of high praise comparing Dragon Age to the Baldur's Gate series, but I never quite got around to actually trying it out for myself. After seeing a lot of hype for the game build since its original reveal trailer, I'm definitely going to try out Dragon Age: The Veilguard when it launches – what is your advice for a first-time Dragon Age player heading into Veilguard as their first taste of the series?

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Pre-Load and File Size

Multiple characters from Dragon Age The Veilguard

Players who pre-ordered the game on consoles will be able to download it starting on October 29, 2024. Xbox Series X/S users can already preload Dragon Age: The Veilguard ahead of its launch, and they'll need around 93 GB of space. Meanwhile, PS5 users will be able to access preload starting October 29, 2024, at 9 AM PST (12 PM EDT).

Sadly, PC users are not able to pre-load the game before its release time. They will have to download the full file size on the date of release, which is around 93 GB for the download files, and 100 GB of total space for the installed game. That's a lot, considering that Dragon Age: Inquisition was barely 27 GB in total file size download and 47 GB in total space when installed. Soon, fans will see what Bioware has been cooking for so many years.
