Mass Effect Legendary Edition has received its first major patch just days after it was released on May 14th.

With all three games installed, you’re looking at around 80GB to 100GB depending on your platform of choice.  Thankfully, however, the Legendary Edition has a handy in-game launcher that allows you to download each game as you please.  So if you only play the original Mass Effect, you don’t have to download the other two until you need to.

The new patch dubbed update 1.02 comes in at just under 12GB across the board fixes a launcher issue on the Xbox Series X, improves textures and achievement/trophy for the first Mass Effect and 3, improves cut-scenes for Mass Effect 2, as well as a number of bug fixes.

 

You can check the full notes for update 1.02 via EA.com below.  Have you been enjoying the Mass Effect Legendary Edition?  Let us know across our social media channels.
