The Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the upcoming remastered version of the Mass Effect Trilogy is here. It brings Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 together in one launcher. There will be over 40 single-player DLCs from all three titles. Improved versions, shaders, effects, illumination, and depth of field are among the visual enhancements. On PC, output choices will accommodate ultra-high refresh speeds, and consoles have performance vs quality preferences. All versions support HDR.
