๐Ÿ“บ Dragon Age: The Veilguard Earns Steam Deck Verification Ahead of Release

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has officially been verified for the Steam Deck, a certification that indicates the game runs smoothly on the handheld device without any major issues. This is excellent news for players who enjoy gaming on the go, as it guarantees that The Veilguard's experience on the Steam Deck will be just as immersive and engaging as on a full-sized PC or console.


What makes this verification particularly notable is that The Veilguard is Steam native, meaning it doesn't require the EA app to run on the Steam Deck. This decision simplifies the gaming experience and is likely to be well-received by the community. As Dragon Age: The Veilguard gears up for its release on October 31, 2024, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this beloved RPG series.


For those unfamiliar, The Veilguard is set in a rich fantasy world filled with magic, intrigue, and complex characters. The game's Steam Deck verification further solidifies its place as one of the most anticipated RPGs of the year. If you plan to play on the Steam Deck, this news should come as a relief, knowing that you'll be able to enjoy the full game without any hitches. Watch the official release date trailer to get a feel for the adventure that awaits.

๐Ÿ“บ Mixed Reviews Surface for Black Myth: Wukong Amid Performance Issues

Black Myth: Wukong, one of the most talked-about action RPGs of the year, has been receiving generally favorable reviews, but there's a catchโ€”many players have reported significant performance issues, particularly on PC. Despite the game's stunning visuals and engaging combat, the current build appears to struggle on even high-end setups, leading to frustrations among the gaming community.


The performance issues have raised concerns, especially as the game nears its release date of August 20, 2024. Many players are hoping that Game Science, the developers behind Black Myth: Wukong, will address these issues in a timely manner, possibly with a day-one patch. The problems have somewhat overshadowed the positive aspects of the game, which reviewers have praised for its focus on action-packed combat over traditional RPG elements.


The game's benchmark tool, released alongside the reviews, has allowed players to test the game's performance on their own hardware. Unfortunately, even those with top-tier systems have reported inconsistent frame rates and other technical hiccups. These issues have led to discussions online about the game's readiness for a PC launch, with many hopeful that optimizations will come before or shortly after release.


Despite these concerns, Black Myth: Wukong remains highly anticipated, especially for its unique setting and approach to storytelling. The game draws heavily on Chinese mythology, offering a fresh perspective in the action RPG genre. For those interested in exploring this world, it's worth keeping an eye on updates from Game Science regarding potential performance improvements. Read the full review on IGN for more details on the game's strengths and weaknesses.
