With Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s one-week anniversary now here, BioWare has released its first big patch for the well-received fantasy action-RPG; and as an added treat, the studio has tossed in some Mass Effect themed cosmetic armour to mark this year’s N7 Day.
The Veilguard’s first patch isn’t admittedly, a particularly sexy one in terms of fixes. Its release notes suggest an update primarily focussed on massaging away some relatively minor annoyances – but given Digital Foundry called the game’s initial release an “attractive, technically solid” one on PC, and “polished [and] performant” on consoles, there didn’t appear to be anything particularly egregious in need of attention.
Still, if you’re an owner of an Nvidia 40-series GPU who couldn’t access Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s DLSS options, or were finding Harding and Taash’s banter looping endlessly, then those – alongside exactly 43 additional issues – should now be remedied on PC and consoles.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the patch, then, is the inclusion of the aforementioned Mass Effect-inspired armour – a surprisingly dashing blend of practical chest plate, dinner jacket overcoat, and N7 helmet – that can be acquired via a new chest in the Lighthouse, and which you can see at the top of the page. This, of course, has been released to commemorate the return of BioWare’s annual N7 Day – celebrations that have also seen a Mass Effect TV show officially announced, plus returning collaborations with No Man’s Sky and Destiny 2.
