A new game, particularly one ten years in the making after a GOTY-winning sequel, underperforming by a full 50% is dire. You’ll also notice from the wording there that it says “engaged” not “sold,” as this number includes those who might have played via EA Play. So sales are likely not much above a million.

Electronic Arts revealed its financial report for the third quarter of the fiscal year. It explicitly admits that Dragon Age: The Veilguard did worse than expected.

A weird week for BioWare just got a little weirder, as EA reveals in its new quarterly financial statement that Dragon Age: The Veilguard unperformed sales expectations by 50% for the company's 2025 fiscal year third quarter.

The Veilguard failed to meet EA's sales expectations by almost 50%, selling only around 1.5 million units. The game received mostly positive reviews from critics but had a divisive reception among fans.

EA published their revised projected revenues for 2025 following Dragon Age's failure to meet expectations, causing the EA stock to plummet.

Electronic Arts says thanks and farewell in a new patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard that sounds very much like it will be the last.

EA has blamed the performance of EA Sports FC 25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard for the company's fall in bookings in its third quarter.

EA has revealed that two of its flagship titles, namely Dragon Age: The Veilguard and EA Sports FC 25, underperformed last quarter.

The Veilguard and EA Sports FC 25 underperformed, with Dragon Age specifically falling 50% short of expectations.

This also means EA has cut its expectations for the 2025 fiscal year. Originally, it was aiming to make $7.5 billion to $7.8 billion (about £6.1 billion to £6.33 billion) by the end of March, but that target has dropped to a range of $7 billion to $7.15 billion (about £5.7 billion to £5.8 billion).
