After the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, many players are asking the question: “Can you play Dragon Age The Veilguard on Steam Deck?”
The fourth installment in Bioware’s critically acclaimed fantasy RPG sagahas arrived on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S last October 31, 2024.
Veilguard is one of the most technically sound AAA game releases of 2024, with Digital Foundry calling its PC version “simply brilliant.”
If you plan to pick up Dragon Age: The Veilguard on PC, you might be wondering if it’s Steam Deck verified because, after all, fighting Elven Gods is even better from the comfort of your bed or a quaint mountaintop.
Can you play Dragon Age The Veilguard on Steam Deck? Compatibility explained
Yes, you can play Dragon Age The Veilguard on Steam Deck. Bioware recently confirmed that its latest action RPG is Steam Deck verified and a Steam native app as well, meaning you don’t need the EA Play launcher to play it.
It’s worth pointing out that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is one of the best-looking games of this console generation, with stunning vistas, incredible lighting, and photo-realistic environments across all of Thedas.
As such, it’s quite surprising how well-optimized Veilguard is on Steam Deck. Even though it runs at the lowest preset with AMD FSR enabled, it still looks pretty good and hits 30 FPS consistently, with a few minor dips here and there.
Steam Deck is becoming one of the best places to play big-budget RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Metaphor ReFantazio, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard seems to be no different.
However, unlike those two titles, it features real-time combat, so make sure to pause the game if you’re on the go, or else you may find your Rook’s party beaten to a pulp by a group of darkspawns or a dragon.
