After what seems like an eternity of fans clamoring for a remaster or remake of BioWare’s iconic sci-fi RPG trilogy, the time has finally come. Mass Effect Legendary Edition comes to PS4, Xbox One, and PC, bringing to a ton of visual and performance improvements, almost all the released DLC, and a reworking of some of the original title’s mechanics. This is the definitive way to experience the Mass Effect Trilogy, and it gets even better on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
While not native versions for the new-gen consoles, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition will run at a higher resolution on both PS5 and Series X, and at a higher framerate of 60FPS when in performance mode, too. For the most part, though, Mass Effect Legendary Edition remains true to the originals’ gameplay, so if you’ve played Commander Shepherd’s story once already, you’ll know what to expect.
For those needing a refresher or complete newcomers, though, our Mass Effect Legendary Edition wiki aims to guide you through the trickiest sections, and help you woo your favorite crewmate with plenty of romance guides.
