Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the sequel to the cult RPG series, will be released on the 31st of October.

BioWare studio has already published the system requirements of the game, but then they were suspiciously low and not detailed. Besides, after a few months of work on the project, the requirements may have changed significantly.

Here's What We Know

Owners of weak computers will not be able to pass Dragon Age: The Veilguard at high graphics settings, although it should be noted that the game will run even with a GTX 970 graphics card, but the image will be appropriate.

But high resolution with stable frame rate will require a modern PC with RTX 4080 level graphics card, 16 GB of RAM and 100 GB of free space on the drive, and it should be SSD.

But there is good news: the developer has confirmed that the game will not include Denuvo DRM protection, hated by most gamers.
