Best Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Deals And Discounts On Release Day (Xbox, PC)

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition released today, May 14, on Xbox, PS4, and PC, letting longtime fans experience the acclaimed sci-fi RPG trilogy all over again while offering a brand-new adventure for those coming to the series for the first time. If you're planning to dive into Mass Effect: Legendary Edition this weekend and haven't bought it yet, there are a few release day deals and subscriptions available that get you the game for less than $60. At the moment, all the best deals are for Xbox and PC--sorry, PS4 and PS5 owners.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition PC deals

EA Play Pro subscribers | $15 per month

The best deal on Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is exclusive to PC players on Origin. EA Play Pro (previously called Origin Access Premier) is a game subscription service costing $15 per month, and signing up will get you immediate access to Mass Effect: Legendary Edition on Origin without having to pay the full $60 price tag. Staying subscribed to EA Play Pro for four months is equivalent to the price of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition on its own, and you'll have access to dozens of other EA games on PC as well.

Origin | $52.79

If you don't want to opt for the EA Play Pro sign-up, there are some outright Origin discounts available from third-party PC game stores. Both Fanatical and Green Man Gaming have dropped the price of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition to $52.79, down from $60. After checkout, you'll be asked to log into your Origin account for keyless activation.

Steam | $49.80 for ME3 owners

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition isn't discounted outright on Steam and costs $60, but if you own Mass Effect 3 on Steam, be sure to take advantage of a current bundle offer that ends Monday, May 17. If you purchased Mass Effect 3 on Steam after June 11, 2020, when it became available on the platform, you can get 17% off the cost of Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Xbox deals

Xbox One / Xbox Series X|S digital code | $50

From now until Sunday--or while supplies last--you can pick up a digital Xbox code for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition for $50 at Newegg. To take advantage of the deal, add the game to your cart, then apply promo code EMCEWHU22 at checkout to see $10 slashed off the price. You'll receive the digital code via email, which can then be redeemed in the Xbox Store to play on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One.

EA Play / Game Pass Ultimate subscribers | $54

As always with new releases, EA Play members can get 10% off Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, dropping it to $54. EA Play is included for free with Game Pass Ultimate, and if you're not already a subscriber, you can currently get your first three months for $1. That's an incredible deal for all that Game Pass has to offer.
