New Addition to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Overview of Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The most recent title from BioWare, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, experienced a tumultuous development, undergoing two full reboots and witnessing notable departures from the development team. It eventually released in late October 2024 and has earned a generally favorable response, scoring a “Strong” rating on OpenCritic with an average rating of 80 out of 100 based on critic evaluations. However, user ratings have been mixed, reflected in its 3.5-star evaluation on both the Xbox and PlayStation Store platforms.
Availability on Xbox Game Pass
Almost ten months post its official launch, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has become accessible to Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Unlike many titles that debut as day-one releases, this title requires the EA Play add-on, making it exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users or PC Game Pass members. Players can enjoy it via Xbox Cloud Gaming on supported devices.
Sales Performance
A notable factor contributing to its swift arrival on the subscription service is its sales performance. EA stated that the game sold approximately 1.5 million copies, which fell short of their expectations. Despite this number, all previous Dragon Age titles are currently available through the Xbox Game Pass platform, solidifying the series’ presence on the service.
Upcoming Titles on Xbox Game Pass
Looking ahead, fans can expect the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong to join Xbox Game Pass on September 4. Microsoft is expected to announce the games joining the service in the following month on September 2.
