As per an in-depth analysis by Digital Foundry, Dragon Age: The Veilguard drops to as low as 60FPS on the PlayStation 5 performance mode to maintain 60FPS.
So, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is running at 500p on PS5—seriously? That’s like going back a generation in terms of visuals. Honestly, as much as I love this series, I’d rather they delay the game than release it in such a compromised state.
Honestly, seeing a AAA game like Dragon Age: The Veilguard drop to 500P on PS5 to keep 60FPS is surprising. It’s great that it performs well on PC, but console players might feel a bit shortchanged here. With games aiming for next-gen graphics, it's disappointing to see such a low resolution on one of the main consoles.
At the end of the day, this just highlights how demanding modern games are on consoles. If 500P is what it takes for a smooth 60FPS, that’s a tradeoff some players will be okay with. Others might prefer fidelity mode or just stick with PC for the best quality.
I think it's worth noting that the game doesn’t have DRM or microtransactions, which is rare nowadays. Even if the resolution on PS5 is taking a hit in performance mode, at least they didn’t load it with extras that could ruin the experience. This might make it more appealing to players who are tired of the usual AAA game baggage.
