I wonder if this is going to make Mass Effect PlayAnywhere. A lot of recent titles on GP were made PA, Zombie Army 4, MK11, Aliens.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Sweet, was meaning to try The Pedestrian and will more than likely replay ME1 + 2.

I am 95% sure that it does.

It requires another ea play account or something right?
eeehhh... I think I will pass and get mass effect on ps5

Not on Xbox, you just download it like any other game from game pass library on the Xbox dash.

On PC you may need to download the EA play client.

When it came to Mass effect legendary its such a good collection, i bought it. It's on sale everywhere for $30 physical or digital. They put it a lot of work into it. Gives me a little hope on ME4.
I'm interested in the new control updates. I didn't jump on it because I still have the originals. 1 and 2 are amazing games though for sure. Some of the best ever.

Nice. It's a light month, but still multiple things I'm interested in.

You really buried the lead though not including Pupperazzi in the title.

FYI: Xbox sale starting today. Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon on sale.


Yeah, here's the full sale list:




Good drop. Don't sleep on Gorogoa, it's a great game.

Yeah, reading good things about it.

Will check it out for sure.

Goes without saying since EA Play is on Gamepass. I waited for It Takes Two.

Re: ME Legendary and PA; I don't think it does.

The GB locale store still only applies for Xbox consoles.

Yeah but it can take from 6 to 10 months, I bought ME Legendary at launch, played and then resold it cause I knew it would come eventually.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition was so awesome. Got all three Platinum trophies and had a blast doing it. Nice add for GP.

Almost bought Mass Effect about a hundred times, but patience has paid off. I'm not a fan of remakes, remasters or the dreaded 'Director's Cut' but admit to being tempted by that one. Shame it didn't make it for some play time over the holidays though, and my year looks super busy.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
ME2 was all about adjustments and offends ME1 hardcore fans. ME3 is my favorite.

Mass Effect LE hitting game pass just in time for my province’s lockdown. Perfect. I still need to take on It Takes Two with someone. Some months the EA Play add-on makes it the best part. I tried Outer wilds before and it didn’t suck me in but may give it another go. Gorogoa should be a nice diversion too.

When you have a backlog as big as mine.... and I'm sure plenty do... waiting isn't all that difficult.
I totally get you, I still haven't played psychonauts 2 even though it's been sitting on my dash for almost half a year now.
