The latest installment of theDragon Ageseries,Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is set for release at the end of October 2024, and players are wondering if it will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one. It will be the sequel to the 2014 Game of The Year winner,Dragon Age: Inquisition, with anall-new new combat systemand returning familiar factions. Fans who hold an Xbox Game Pass subscription may be wondering if they will have access to the game upon its release.
Xbox Game Pass allows access to hundreds of games, including the latest releases, with its subscription service for both console and PC. Even with games cycling along the platform as titles are added and removed, many view it as an accessible and cheaper alternative for those who desire to play popular games. With the fourth entry in theDragon Ageseries around the corner, it is fair to wonder if it will be released to the Game Pass library.
