Dragon Age: The Veilguard Will Feature A Quality/Performance Mode On PS5 & Xbox Series Consoles
EA and Bioware’s upcoming action role-playing game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, will offer a Quality as well as a Performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles.
During a conversation with IGN, an EA representative mentioned that Bioware’s Dragon Age: The Veilguard will feature a Quality as well as a Performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. The game runs on the latest version of the Frostbite Engine, and targets a frame rate of 60 fps in Performance mode and 30 fps in Quality mode. As such, players will have the option to choose between graphical fidelity and more responsive controls.
The EA representative didn’t mention any specifics regarding the Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s resolution in both Quality and Performance modes. Though, if we were to take a guess, Quality mode likely operates close to 4K (2160p), while performance mode is likely in the range of 1440p. Both modes may also operate with a dynamic resolution profile. Bioware will have more to share on both graphics modes for consoles in the coming months.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. As the fourth major installment in the Dragon Age series, it follows the story of Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014). Initially announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in 2022, it was renamed to Dragon Age: The Veilguard in June 2024. The game is set for release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
Development of Dragon Age: The Veilguard began in 2015, though it faced numerous delays, major design changes, and significant staff turnover. No official release date has been announced, though the game is expected to arrive this year in Fall 2024. Mark Darrah, Game Consultant at BioWare, had recently stated during a Q&A session last month that Dragon Age: The Veilguard was moving towards the end of production and getting ready to ship.
