It seems that Dragon Age: The Veilguard might have seen its last significant update, according to the latest patch notes. EA recently shared that the game has attracted 1.5 million players, which is only half of what they had anticipated. This apparently led to the decision to cease major post-launch support just three months after release.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Update 5 Patch Notes
Bioware kicked off the patch notes for Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s fifth update by stating they will only be keeping an eye out for critical bugs and issues moving forward. This has fueled speculation that this marks the end of major updates for the game.
“We’re thrilled with how stable the game was at launch and hope you’ve appreciated our quality of life updates since,” the patch notes indicate. “Now that the game is in a stable state, we’ll focus on monitoring for any game-breaking bugs that might arise.”
While Bioware didn’t explicitly declare this the final update, it certainly feels like a closing chapter.
Here’s what the rest of the update includes:
Quality of Life Changes:
- Recommended levels have been added to side quests that players might encounter at much lower levels than intended.
Bug Fixes:
- Resolved an issue where Rook was only able to flirt with Lucanis during a specific conversation.
- Fixed a problem with the “Regrets of The Dread Wolf” quest where it either failed to trigger properly or stopped Rook with an invisible wall in the Crossroads.

- Resolved an issue preventing some Rooks from changing the runes on their lyrium dagger.
- Fixed a bug with the Medium Armor Mastery skill for Warriors.

- Corrected a typo on a note that Rook can discover in Dock Town.
- Fixed an issue that degraded photo mode screenshots quality when HDR was enabled.
- Addressed a bug causing the photo mode screenshot location to still appear on screen.
