Bioware’s upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard title will have a Quality and Performance mode on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles at launch, an EA representative told IGN. Typically the Quality mode setting on the consoles targets 30 FPS and prioritizes fidelity. As for the Performance mode, the game will look to target 60 FPS.
While the existence of Quality and Performance modes is welcoming news, the EA representative did not reveal the resolution that these modes would be running the game at. However, the typical expectation from the Quality mode would be 4K native resolution whereas the performance mode will look to hit 60 FPS at 1440p resolution. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is built on the Frostbite Engine.
The EA rep told IGN, “Dragon Age: The Veilguard will feature performance and quality modes on consoles to ensure players can choose the visual fidelity they prefer. We’ll have more to share on exact performance as we finish development in the coming months.”
Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the title originally announced as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, was recently showcased at the Xbox Games Showcase. The title will take place 10 years after the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, 2014’s Game of the Year. Players will get to travel to new locations in Thedas, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard will feature Solas as the antagonist.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game is slated for a release in Fall 2024.
