Dragon Future: The Veilguard has debuted at the top of Steam’s best-seller lists.
The latest game from EA and BioWare has entered the list of major Steam distributors, unseating Name of Accountability: Cloudy Ops 6 from supremacy.
Chart data on SteamDB shows that the game, which was canceled on Thursday, peaked at 70,414 concurrent players within its first 24 hours on sale.
This makes it the most popular Steam launch for any game in BioWare history, with the first being Collection Impact Mythical Edition (which had a record high of 59,817 players).
It’s also one of the highest peaks for any single-player EA game, surpassing the Star Wars Jedi games, but so far trailing Want for Speed Warmth (which had a peak height of 86,196) and Los Sims 4. (which had a height of 96,328).
VGC’s Dragon Future: The Veilguard review mentioned that the game “fleetingly captures the magic of BioWare, but as often as it does, it also disappoints with repetitive gameplay plagued by annoyances.”
“Within the modern action RPG space, Dragon Age: The Veilguard feels right,” we wrote.
“It’s a game that’s never overtly bad, but it’s also fleetingly surprising. We especially enjoyed its cast, but most of the things they ask you to do with them are disappointingly repetitive.
“There are moments of spectacle and longer main missions that show potential, but overall we feel like BioWare hasn’t evolved with the times.”
