One of the best video game trilogies ever is on sale for less than £5

Remasters of three of the best sci-fi games ever made have been reduced to a bargain price on both PS4 and PC.

BioWare has a long history of acclaimed role-playing games, including the recent Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but its greatest work is still arguably the Mass Effect trilogy.

The sci-fi role-playing series is one of the defining pillars of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era, and set a new standard for choice-driven narratives in the medium (controversial ending aside). The original trilogy came to an end with 2012’s Mass Effect 3, which was followed by the much maligned spin-off Mass Effect: Andromeda.

A remastered compilation of the first three games, titled Mass Effect Legendary Edition, was released in 2021, across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. If you’re yet to embark on the space epic, this collection has now been reduced to a ludicrously cheap price.

On Steam, you can pick up Mass Effect Legendary Edition for £4.99, a 90% reduction from its original £49.99 price. This deal runs until March 27 and is part of an EA Spring Sale, with other standouts offers being Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order at £3.49 and Titanfall 2 at £2.49.

While not quite as cheap, a similar deal is available on the PlayStation Store, where Mass Effect Legendary Edition is down to £5.99. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is also down to £4.49, with both these deals running until March 26.

If you’re a fan of sharp comedowns, Mass Effect Andromeda is also 85% off on Steam at £5.24. Alternatively, you can sign up to EA Play for £5.99 a month and access all of these titles, but as the Mass Effect series is pretty lengthy, you’re probably better off buying them at this cheap price and savouring the delights over time.

EA is working on a fifth instalment in the Mass Effect series, although it’s unclear when it will be released. The project was announced back in 2020, but there have been no major updates since, aside from vague teasers.

It’s more likely we’ll see the confirmed Mass Effect TV series before a new game, which is supposedly underway at Amazon. Daniel Casey, whose previous credits include Fast & Furious 9, is set to write and executive produce the show.
