Dragon Age: The Veilguard won't use third-party DRM like Denuvo. This was just confirmed by BioWare, alongside the PC specs you'll need to play the game on launch day.
Not using third-party DRM is likely to be a popular move amongst fans, as this is often linked to performance issues on PCs that could otherwise handle a game. This is also in line with BioWare's promise that The Veilguard can be played completely offline, unlike many other modern releases.
"Dragon Age: The Veilguard won’t include any 3rd party DRM (such as Denuvo) on any platform," confirms BioWare. "The lack of DRM means that there will be no preload period for PC players."
This lack of pre-load might be disappointing for some, but at the very least, it guarantees that you won't need an internet connection beyond that initial installation. Console players do get to pre-load The Veilguard, however, and anyone who pre-ordered on Xbox is able to install the game now. PlayStation owners will have to wait until October 29, so a couple of days before launch.
Developers including DRM in games - especially single-player games - is an increasingly common and controversial practice....
