BioWare shares PC features for Dragon Age: The Veilguard including ultrawide resolutions and DualSense haptic support - and reveals that the game has been tested for 200,000 hours on PC
BioWare has revealed the PC features for Dragon Age: The Veilguard PC ahead of its October launch.
As promised in its official roadmap that was released last week, the studio has shared a new blog post detailing everything players need to know about the PC version of the upcoming role-playing game (RPG), along with a list of exclusive features for the platform.
BioWare explained that it created a dedicated team to focus specifically on PC because «getting the PC experience just right was crucial.» This resulted in PCs making up 40% of the studio's platform testing effort, amounting to over 200,000 hours of performance and compatibility testing.
In addition to the testing hours, BioWare did close to 10,000 hours of user research when it came to testing controls and UI on both keyboard and mouse, and controllers.
This means that The Veilguard on PC will feature native support for PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers with haptics support, as well as the Xbox controllers, with the option to transition between controllers or keyboard and mouse while playing or in menus.
The Veilguard will have numerous ways to play, BioWare said, so it's implemented a way for players to choose by adding the ability to customize class-specific keybinds that you can easily switch between.
In terms of graphics, the game will support 21:9 Ultrawide monitors alongside standard resolution options, as well as full HDR support. PC players will also be able to disable the option «Cinematic Aspect Ratio», which will remove the black bars during cutscenes, adjust the field of view with the FOV slider, and experience an uncapped framerate.
