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.

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.

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

EA has provided preliminary financial results for the third fiscal quarter, and it doesn't look good for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The company has confirmed the game has not reached sales expectations and only met nearly 50% of the players Electronic Arts expected. EA FC 25 also failed to meet its targets.

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.

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).

Publisher Electronic Arts (EA) and developer BioWare's latest role-playing game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, grabbed around 1.5 million players, but missed EA's expectations by almost 50%. That comes via a preliminary earnings report from EA,
