BioWare has moved past the disappointed launches of Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. The company finally delivered what seems to be a hit with Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The action-RPG has climbed to the top of Steam’s Top Sellers list. This happened following its launch across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X on Thursday. The game pushed the recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 into second place. The new Dragon Age title has become BioWare’s biggest Steam launch ever. This is according to concurrent player figures on SteamDB.
Within a day of launch, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has reached a peak concurrent player count of 70,414 on Steam. This makes it the most popular Steam release from BioWare ever (as spotted by VGC). The studio’s previous biggest launch on Valve’s storefront was 2021’s Mass Effect Legendary Edition. It reached a peak player count of 59,817 on the platform.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is also one of publisher EA’s biggest single-player launches on Steam. It beats Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which released last year. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor recorded a peak player count of 67,855 on Steam.
