EA and BioWare Update Dragon Age: Inquisition for Steam Deck

Two years after the poorly received and commercially disappointing release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, EA and BioWare have issued a new update for the series' predecessor, Dragon Age: Inquisition, improving its compatibility with the Steam Deck handheld. The update changes the 12-year-old game's Steam Deck status from "Unsupported" to "Playable," fixing a previous issue where it would not run with Proton. However, Valve notes lingering problems, including in-game text that is too small and occasional incorrect controller icons, preventing it from achieving "Verified" status. BioWare is currently developing a new Mass Effect game, with an update expected on November 7. The future of the Dragon Age series remains uncertain, and the update comes amid speculation about BioWare's long-term viability, with the upcoming Mass Effect title seen as potentially make-or-break for the studio.
