Veilguard Has No Denuvo DRM Because They \"Trust You\"

BioWare delivers both good and bad news for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The game will launch without Denuvo DRM, but PC players will miss out on preloading.

Veilguard: DRM-Free, No Preload for PC

Project director Michael Gamble announced on Twitter (X) that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will not utilize Denuvo anti-piracy software on PC. This decision, driven by a "trust" in players, has been met with positive reactions, as Denuvo has often been associated with performance issues. The absence of DRM, however, means no preload option for PC gamers. This is a significant drawback considering the game's substantial 100GB storage requirement. Console players, however, can preload. Xbox early access players can install now; PlayStation early access begins October 29th. Gamble also confirmed that the game will not require an always-online connection.

BioWare simultaneously released the system requirements. High-end PCs can leverage ray tracing and uncapped frame rates. Minimum specs aim for broad accessibility. Consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S) offer fidelity and performance modes targeting 30 and 60 FPS respectively. To fully utilize ray tracing on PC, players need at least an Intel Core i9 9900K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X processor, 16GB RAM, and an Nvidia RTX 3080 or AMD Radeon 6800XT graphics card.
