Mass Effect Legendary Edition releases on May 14th and like most games, it will receive a day-1 update. According to its changelog (which is currently available on the Playstation servers), this day-1 patch will be 11GB in size.
Now my guess is that this patch will be automatically applied to the game. Thus, PC gamers won’t have to download a separate file. After all, this is exactly what’s been happening with all day-1 patches.
Going into slightly more details, this day-1 update will improve performance and the game’s Ambient Occlusion effects. It will also bring stability and lighting improvements. Furthermore, it will fix some crashes, and will pack some miscellaneous content fixes.
As said, Mass Effect Legendary Edition releases on May 14th. NVIDIA has also released a new driver for Mass Effect Legendary Edition that you can download from here.
Stay tuned for more!

not out yet and already receiving patches.This does not bode well
It’s a common thing now, most games get a day 1 patch
This is a very standard thing and not indicative of polish.
If the patch comes out day 1… is it even a patch? It’s basically just part of the game really. Day 1 patch doesn’t make any difference to anyone except reviewers/ppl that get the game early.
When you take into consideration that physical copies are still a thing. Yes, a day 1 patch is still a patch.
When a game “goes gold” it means they send a disc image off to the manufacturers to get pressed for all of the physical copies. Obviously this has to be done a few weeks/months before the game’s release date. Devs/publishers usually keep working on games right until release day, hence why Day 1 patches are a thing.
You def have a point. Completely forgot about physical release’s. Being a pc gamer and seeing a day 1 patch didn’t make any sense.
Legendary not Definitive
“I always wanted a remaster from people who didn’t make the game, hate gamers, hate their fans and who want to censor other peoples art because they are mad no one buys their new awful games.”. – No one ever
“You are a sexist, racist, even though Mass Effect 2 purposefully features 2 sexualized characters and Jacob’s butt and giant nutt cup have been left in the game, while Miranda’s sexuality has been removed. Oh wait, this makes us actual racists that think sexualizing a black man is ok, but sexualizing a white woman is not ok.” – Activist game developer/game journalist who got hired as cheap labor to try and milk nostalgia from idiots and to defend and shil things on twitter with unfair attacks on the audience to deflect all criticism.
Anyone who buys this is a masoch*st. You are funding people who hate you, so that they can subvert the old Bioware IP’s you loved. If you stopped giving companies like this money, they would fire the people destroying what you love. The people who buy this are the same kind of morons who subscribe to Disney+, while complaining about Kathleen Kennedy. You are paying her salary idiots. Stop giving that company any money and see what happens. These people will be on the curb and never hired again.
“Mass Effect 2 purposefully features 2 sexualized characters and Jacob’s butt and giant nutt cup have been left in the game, while Miranda’s sexuality has been removed.”
WTF are you talking about, “Jacob nutt cup”, what? Is this another rant about camera angles? I would never buy a EA game, just pirate them even back them, but this kind of discourse is so dumb… And Bioware was always subversive, you would notice that if you stopped paying attention to Miranda’s assets and payed more attention to the game plot.
“If you stopped giving companies like this money, they would fire the people destroying what you love.”
Dumb and tired libertarian talking point that is extra tone deaf when you neglect how much feminist the ME fanbase actually is and most people that look forward to this piece of crap doesn’t care about this stuff.
That’s not really a solution, just a personnal decision. Sure, we are not going to buy it, but others will, so nothing really changes (in our favor).
Seems more like a peformance patch than a game breaking bug, so maybe not.
I’m still not sure about this one. Too many red flags, but the chance to replay them all with one package, eh, I just don’t know. The changes they are making really do not rub well, but Mass Effect will always be about the story and character development.

Wait, WHAT?
