BioWare has spent over 200,000 hours testing Dragon Age: The Veilguard - and that's just on PC.

In a new blog post focused on PC features, BioWare noted that "the Dragon Age franchise started out on PC, and we wanted to make sure PC is a great place to play" Dragon Age: The Veilguard. To that end, the company says that during testing, "PCs made up 40% of our platform testing effort, with over 200,000 hours of performance and compatibility testing." For those of you keeping score at home, that amounts to about 22 years' worth of cumulative testing.

The other bit of good news (at least, for me, the owner of a huge screen) is full Ultrawide support, which extends to cutscenes thanks to the ability to disable those 'cinematic black bars'. BioWare says that "no matter what size monitor you're rocking," you'll be able to adjust your FOV to match up.
