Dragon Age: Veiled Keeper launched yesterday, and there’s clearly no shortage of people wanting to return to Thedas, as BioWare’s massive fantasy game quickly stole the crown, becoming BioWare’s biggest Steam release ever.
The game hit a new high of 70,414 concurrent players yesterday, according to SteamDB, no doubt to the delight of CEO Andrew Wilson, who earlier this week was hyping up Veilguard Has “breakthrough potential”. This surpasses BioWare’s previous high score of 59,817 for Mass Effect Legendary Edition, as well as some of EA’s recent single-player high scores, such as Star Wars Jedi: Survivors’ all-time high score of 67,855.

With 31,439 concurrent players at the time of writing, Veilguard is just outside the top 25 most played games on Steam, ahead of Baldur’s Gate 3, EA Sports FC 25, and Helldivers 2 》 and other games. As always, these numbers only apply to one storefront on one platform, so we’ll have to wait and see how things pan out on consoles.
Of the players who have joined so far, it looks like the game’s character creators have put in a long, hard time, with both Twitter and Reddit home to a slew of Rooks looking to lead a team if they could easily pursue a career in modeling. Things don’t work out for them as adventurers.
But don’t worry, not everyone can create one that can show you what you look like in very expensive pants or a jumper with three separate V-necks. I’m happy to report that at least a few players have had to run straight to the mirror after realizing they’d made some unfortunate mistakes with their face sculpts.
The most common disease? The seemingly weird forehead/nose ripples look a bit vaginal and suddenly become more prominent during cutscenes. “If this is happening to my Rook,” one player wrote in a post about the phenomenon, “go to the mirror and spread your brows a little apart, that helps a lot. Don’t have to move too much either , just a little bit.” Another suggested they fix the problem by “playing with the nasal bone slider.” So, your Palpatini vibe should only be temporary. Phew.
