Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now Steam's best-selling game, breaking BioWare's concurrent player record
Dragon Age: The Veilguard tops Steam, despite controversy on visuals and political elements.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has quickly ascended to become the best-selling game on Steam, even overtaking Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. BioWare achieved a new milestone with the game, reaching a peak of 70,414 concurrent players, surpassing any of their previous efforts.
Despite its success, some Dragon Age fans expressed discontent over the game's cartoon-like aesthetic, which differs from the series' traditionally realistic visuals. More controversially, the game's inclusion of a political message involving nonbinary terminology drew mixed reactions from players.
Nevertheless, Dragon Age: The Veilguard maintains a Mostly Positive Steam rating at 79% approval, echoing generally favorable reviews. The Metascore reflects this positive reception, with scores of 79 on PC, 84 on PS5, and 93 on Xbox Series X indicating its critical success.
