Is Dragon Age: The Veilguard Coming to Game Pass?
Yes, Dragon Age: The Veilguard really is coming to Game Pass, and to be honest, it’s hard not to feel at least a little excited seeing a series like this slide into the subscription lineup. If you’ve been holding your breath for a discount, or just putting off the whole “should I, shouldn’t I” dance until someone chose for you—this week, the answer’s a resounding yes. The Veilguard drops on Game Pass (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S), via EA Play, on August 28th, 2025. That means Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass folks get access included—no extra checkout guilt or late-night wallet panic. Standard Game Pass for console? Not so much, unless something suddenly changes, but no one really expects that twist ending right now.
Seeing BioWare’s name here brings up complicated feelings. This series has built so many memories: long nights arguing with friends about romance subplots, the trauma of dragon fights that wiped my party in ridiculous ways, and heated debates over whether “tactics” actually means spamming spells or just emergency healing and hope. Personally, I’ve always loved how Dragon Age managed to be both messy and magical. Sometimes, the world of Thedas would suck me in so far I’d forget to eat lunch—then my phone buzzes and reality snaps back in.
This time around, instead of shelling out for a full-price box, you can just fire up Game Pass and jump in. That’s… almost weird. The Veilguard didn’t have a perfect ride. There was chatter about bumpy development, sales that didn’t exactly blow the doors off, and yes, the usual litany of rumors about what BioWare is or isn’t anymore. But the end result? Reviews have been solid. People say the new combat system is surprisingly punchy, story enthusiasts found their choices still matter, and, for better or worse, you’ll soon be able to have those “wait, can I romance THAT companion?” conversations with everyone who waited until Game Pass made it easy.
