Summary
Gamers awaiting the arrival ofDragon Age: The Veilguardto the March 2025 PS Plus monthly games can get a head start with a free app available on the PlayStation Store. Fans were taken by surprise whenDragon Age: The Veilguardwas announced as a PS Plus title, considering the game was only released five months earlier, in October 2024.
Players aiming to add BioWare’s latest RPG to their PS5 library will need to free up some space, asDragon Age: The Veilguardwill require over 80 GBon the PS5’s SSD. While the game won’t join the PlayStation Plus monthly lineup until March 4, players can still start their adventure in the world of Thedas.
As noted by kabirsingh84 on Reddit, players can download theDragon Age: The Veilguard Character Creationtool from the PlayStation Store. The app is free of charge and offers the same features as the creation tool found in the full game. When launching the creation tool, players can select from various combat classes and races and even save multiple characters. Once gamers are satisfied with their Rook, it can be transferred to the main game when the action RPG becomes part of the monthly PS Plus offerings.
AlthoughDragon Age: The Veilguardreceived largely positive reviews from critics, it appears the action RPG has failed to resonate with fans. Following the disappointing launch ofDragon Age: The Veilguard,EA has restructured staff at BioWare, moving some of the team to other EA Studios as it pushes forward with development on the nextMass Effecttitle.
Despite the restructuring at BioWare, thedevelopment of the nextMass Effectgameappears to be on track. BioWare’s executive producer, Michael Gamble, recently took to Twitter to reassure fans thatMass Effect’s development is ongoing and that the game is still in its pre-production stage. Given that the RPG is still early in development, it remains unclear how the recent layoffs and restructuring at the developer will affect the game’s eventual release.
