Can you play Dragon Age The Veilguard on Xbox One?

With the official release date for Dragon Age The Veilguard drawing close, you might wonder if the game can be played on Xbox One. Many gamers still own the last generation consoles and are not looking forward to upgrading anytime soon and you might be one of them. Sadly, Dragon Age The Veilguard will not be available for last-gen consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One.

You will need to own either a current-gen console or a PC to play Dragon Age The Veilguard. Let's take a look at everything you need to know about BioWare's fourth DA game.

BioWare has decided to skip the last-generation consoles like the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 for DA The Veilguard. It is likely due to the dated hardware of the older consoles, which might create performance issues.

The Veilguard runs on the Frostbite engine, which has caused problems with Mass Effect Andromeda on the older consoles. This is likely the main reason why the upcoming fourth Dragon Age will skip the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.


Dragon Age The Veilguard platforms

BioWare is bringing the fourth Dragon Age game to the following platforms:

  • PC
  • PlayStation 5
  • Xbox Series X/ S

DA The Veilguard preload has been live for the Xbox Series X/S since October 14, with the PlayStation 5 set to receive the option on the 29 of this month. PC users, unfortunately, won't be able to download the game files ahead of its release on October 31.
