Bioware share the official PC system requirements for the long-awaited Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which seems to be very demanding, especially on higher resolution and graphical presets.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is out in just a couple of weeks from now, which means it's time we look at the official system requirements so you PC players can know what to expect in terms of performance from this new Bioware RPG. 

Judging by the graph shared on the EA blog, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be quite demanding, especially if you're looking to crank up the resolution and graphical preset to 4K and Ultra, respectively. 

Bioware explain that they wanted to allow players with high-end rigs to enjoy ray-tracing features but at the same time, make the minimum specs as low as possible so the game is accessible to as many people as possible and it does seem like they've acheived that, at least according to the information on the official graph.

Below, you'll find PC specs for both standard presents and the ones using ray-tracing. Keep in mind that all the performance estimates include the use of upscaling technolgoy like DLSS, FSR or Intel XeSS.
