Electronic Arts recently stirred up some confusion with its financial report, which suggested that Dragon Age: The Veilguard had sold 1.5 million copies since its release. However, this figure is misleading.
Total Players vs. Copies Sold
The 1.5 million figure actually refers to the total number of players, not the number of copies sold. This discrepancy arises from EA’s subscription service, EA Play Pro, which made “Guardians of the Veil” available from the first day of its release. Consequently, the exact number of copies sold remains unknown.
Understanding the Impact of EA Play Pro
EA Play Pro allows players to access a wide range of EA games, including Dragon Age: The Veilguard, for a monthly fee. This means that many players might have experienced the game without purchasing a standalone copy, contributing to the total player count rather than traditional sales figures.
Current Availability and Discounts
For those interested in purchasing Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the game is currently available on Steam with a 40% discount. This offers a great opportunity for new players to dive into the world of Dragon Age and experience the latest installment.
