I wonder if this is going to make Mass Effect PlayAnywhere. A lot of recent titles on GP were made PA, Zombie Army 4, MK11, Aliens.

Not on Xbox, you just download it like any other game from game pass library on the Xbox dash.

On PC you may need to download the EA play client.

When it came to Mass effect legendary its such a good collection, i bought it. It's on sale everywhere for $30 physical or digital. They put it a lot of work into it. Gives me a little hope on ME4.

I'm interested in the new control updates. I didn't jump on it because I still have the originals. 1 and 2 are amazing games though for sure. Some of the best ever.

Nice. It's a light month, but still multiple things I'm interested in.

You really buried the lead though not including Pupperazzi in the title.

Goes without saying since EA Play is on Gamepass. I waited for It Takes Two.

Yeah but it can take from 6 to 10 months, I bought ME Legendary at launch, played and then resold it cause I knew it would come eventually.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition was so awesome. Got all three Platinum trophies and had a blast doing it. Nice add for GP.

Almost bought Mass Effect about a hundred times, but patience has paid off. I'm not a fan of remakes, remasters or the dreaded 'Director's Cut' but admit to being tempted by that one. Shame it didn't make it for some play time over the holidays though, and my year looks super busy.

Mass Effect LE hitting game pass just in time for my province’s lockdown. Perfect. I still need to take on It Takes Two with someone. Some months the EA Play add-on makes it the best part. I tried Outer wilds before and it didn’t suck me in but may give it another go. Gorogoa should be a nice diversion too.

I totally get you, I still haven't played psychonauts 2 even though it's been sitting on my dash for almost half a year now.
