BioWare announced the Dragon Age Veilguard release times for PC and console, and while you still have to wait a bit for the studio’s latest RPG, you can, at least, preload. Maybe. BioWare is only offering Dragon Age Veilguard preloads on console, so Steam users will just have to wait until launch day to download it. It’s 100GB on Steam, so factor that and the time it’ll take into your launch day plans.

We’ve listed the Dragon Age Veilguard release times below, along with when PS5 and Xbox owners can preload the RPG.
