EA and Bioware have detailed the PC requirements for Dragon Age: The Veilgard.

The team has laid out both specifications for ray tracing off and on. It notes those among us who have high-end rigs will be able to take full advantage of the ray tracing features as well as uncapped frame rates.

For those with less powerful kits, the Dragon Age team said it "focused on making the game as accessible to as many people as possible".

Along with sharing the PC requirements, the Dragon Age: The Veilguard team also laid out the preload times for each platform. Here, Bioware and EA added the game doesn't include any third party DRM on any platform, and as such there will be no PC preload available.
