Dragon Age: The Veilguard Preload and Release Times, Explained

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is one of the most anticipated RPGs of the year and it is so close. Players only have to wait a little bit longer to explore more of Thedas and see what is up with Solas. Fortunately, we now know the Dragon Age: The Veilguard preload and release times across all platforms from console to PC.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Preload Times for All Platforms, Explained

Players are able to pre-order Dragon Age: The Veilguard before it releases on most platforms. This lets you even download the entire game before its release. This is a great feature since it means you’ll be able to hop in and play the entire RPG the moment it releases, rather than wait for the download to finish.

Here are the dates on which the preload times will drop for Dragon Age: The Veilguard:

• Xbox Series X/S: October 14 at 9 a.m. PDT (12 p.m. EDT)
• PS5: October 29 at 9 a.m. PDT (12 p.m. EDT)
• PC: No preload available

If you are on Xbox, you can preload the entire game right now by the time you are reading this. The most shocking part about this situation, though, is no pre-download available for PC players. This is because there is no DRM in this game. As such, there is the possibility players could play early once they download on PC. Unfortunately, this means you’ll have to wait until it drops on PC to download and play it.

What Is the Release Time for Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

It is crucial players know the release times for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, especially if you happen to be on PC since you have no preload. Here is when you can expect the RPG to drop on October 31, 2024. For console players on Xbox and PS5, it is expected for the game to release at midnight on October 31, 2024 in your particular region. For North America, for example, this is at 12 a.m. EDT on October 31, 2024 (9 p.m. PDT on October 30, 2024).

On the other hand, PC is a bit different. The global launch for PC will happen on October 31, 2024 at 9 a.m. PDT (12 p.m. EDT). This will happen at the exact same time for every region in the world, so some places like Japan will actually see the game release at 1 a.m. JST on November 1, 2024. This is also the time at which PC players will be able to download the game as well so prepare accordingly.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will release worldwide for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 31, 2024.
