Mass Effect: Andromeda is one of the most awaited titles of 2017, and now, it’s closer than ever since Bioware announced a release date of March 21, 2017. Like with most AAA titles, Andromeda has quite a few different versions and editions that you can purchase and pre-order. There are also a few bonuses in store for anyone that pre-orders as well. At the moment, there are a number of digital and physical bundles that you can purchase for the game, which we’ll detail down below. As it’s still two months before release, it’s possible details and specifics may change. If anything is changed or added to any of the editions, we’ll make sure to update this article.
First off, anyone that pre-orders any version of the game will get three bonuses.
- Deep Space Explorer Armor

There are three different digital versions of Mass Effect: Andromeda that are all available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
