Dragon Age: The Veilguard pre-orders officially landed yesterday, alongside an October 31 release date. I've seen retailers filtering their standard and deluxe editions onto their sites in the hours since, and have been measuring up each store's delivery times, costs, and additional bonuses all the while. The $69.99 Standard Edition and $89.99 Deluxe Edition (not to mention the monster $219.99 Coffer Edition) are all now widely available in the US - but where should you be shopping?
US: Best Buy | from $69.99 (+ $10 gift card)
UK: The Game Collection | from £57.99
Right now, the best place to pre-order Dragon Age: The Veilguard is Best Buy. The store not only offers release day pickup options, but is also throwing in a free $10 gift card. That's the only bonus (outside of the standard pre-order extras) I've seen on the shelves so far, making it your go-to this weekend. You'll find both the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X on these shelves (both versions include the free gift card). If you're an EA Play member, however, you can save 10% on a digital pre-order via the PS Store or Xbox Store.
Things are a little quieter in the UK as retailers work to get their product pages live. At the moment, I'd recommend heading to The Game Collection first. There, you'll find a £12 discount on the £69.99 Standard Edition game with free shipping to boot. At the time of writing your only other alternative is Game, which is running at full price and with hefty delivery fees.
All Dragon Age: The Veilguard pre-orders come with an extra Blood Dragon cosmetic armor bonus, but the Deluxe and Coffer Editions tack on plenty of extras as well.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Standard Edition pre-orders keeps things simple, with the stock Blood Dragon cosmetic armor bonus.
