In giving official confirmation to the long-held assumption that the game released to a less-than-stellar reception, EA has admitted that

It looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard has received its last major update, if its patch notes are anything to go by. EA recently revealed that the game reached 1.5 million players, which is 50% less than its expectations. This has apparently led the publisher to pull the plug on post-launch support in just three months.

EA has blamed the performance of EA Sports FC 25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard for the company's fall in bookings in its third quarter.

A new game, particularly one ten years in the making after a GOTY-winning sequel, underperforming by a full 50% is dire. You’ll also notice from the wording there that it says “engaged” not “sold,” as this number includes those who might have played via EA Play. So sales are likely not much above a million.

Dragon Age Veilguard significantly missed EA's internal targets, and its full game sales apparently delivered less than 1.5 million units on all platforms.

It seems that developer BioWare might already be done supporting Dragon Age: The Veilguard in a major way. Since launching just a few months back, BioWare has been quick to push out additional updates for the newest Dragon Age game to bring it to a better place.

EA has lowered its financial forecast for its current fiscal year, pointing to the 'underperformance' of EA Sports FC

While the wording of the post seems to suggest EA and BioWare want to put a positive spin on ending updates for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the fact remains that the game sold disappointingly for the company, coming in at around half of EA's expectations for the quarter in which it released.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Patch Notes Sure Make It Sound Like BioWare’s Basically Done With the Game Now Dragon Age: The Veilguard developer BioWare has released a new patch for the game and in the same breath suggested it’s basically done with it less than three months after launch.

In its preliminary third-quarter results for fiscal year 2025, EA writes that it is revising its anticipated mid-single-digit growth in live services net bookings to a mid-single-digit decline.
