I do have EA Access. But how are these downloading without the disc?

The disc is just the license proving you own the game. If it's on EA Access, then your subscription is your license.

It's just not on the store

 

[kitschykitty]

Yes EA Acess added them!

 

[LegalEagleMike]

ME2 and ME3 in my ready to install list as well...also have EA access.

 

[tootie923]

Nah I think you got it right! So unfortunately people with 360 DO need gold to stash the saves in the cloud, but once there they won't need gold to access them on XB1. So a trial should(?) work I hope

I was able to do that with a 1 month Gold trial last year to get most of my BC saves over to the XB One. I can't remember if I did the ME2 & 3 saves (darn it). I guess I'll be dragging the 360 out of the box and using a 3 Month card, have to eventually start playing Gears 4 MP anyway.

So if I get EA Access I dont need to buy any of the three games?

 

[Hyun Sai]

Mass Effect 3 still got the best MP Horde mode ever.

A shame other companies didn't notice how perfectly crafty it is.

 

[Sikamikanico]

Maybe I can squeeze in another playthrough before the game comes out.

Same!

 

[Novocaine]

One day I will play these games.

 

[Storm360]

Looks like EA Access members get the games free.

 

[JoeLT]

All three games have appeared for me too! With EA Access

All the games that are in the Vault are playable unless your sub runs out. So you can pay 5 bucks for a month then play through them all.

 

[NullMoon]

Holy shit, Mass Effect 3 is 27.5 gigs with all the DLC installed. Mass Effect 2 Is gonna be just as big with all the DLC installed too isn't it.

 

[icespide]

well shit this might be the thing that finally makes me cave and get EA access

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Looks like I am giving ME a try. I did play a bit of 2 and liked it. After I finish The Witcher 3, Blood and Wine Expansion, I am going to start on ME.

 

[Grim Patron]

Nice. thanks. Ill do this then.

 

[statham]

Hot damn, time to resubscribe to EA-Access, guess I'll resell the games I just bought.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Wait a minute, I'm just checking my Ready To Install tab on the XB1 and ME2 ad ME3 are ready to install. Currently downloading ME3 at 15.63GB.

Are these games in the Vault!?

 

[DeadlyParasite]

So...... did they work out the issue of save file transfers with the Cloud? Because if not then this becomes pretty pointless. Playing a Mass Effect game without a proper save transfer is like staring into the dark abyss.

 

[Theorry]

Yes.

 

[Natiko]

Hey maybe I'll finally play my copy of ME3 now!

 

[AlexFlame116]

Welp it'll be awhile before I get to it then.

I think I might have a free Xbox Live Gold 14 day trial account code around somewhere. Would that work on the 360?

 

[Outlaw Torn]

Can a Mod please update the title to include that all the Mass Effect games are now also on the EA Access Vault. Thanks

 

[Kill3r7]

Time to replay the series.

 

[Nheco]

do you guys know if The Vault versions include all DLC? I have them physical, but I don't have all DLC.

 

[Storm360]

Not yet, but I don't think the games being in the vault are even announced yet so it may come?

 

[SmartWaffles]

If I already have all the DLC for ME2 & 3, can I play them using the EA Access version?

 

[IfAllElseFales]

Lol I was pleasantly surprised by the EA Access thing. Also surprised I was the first one to notice on here. I've never played through these so I'm pretty excited to try the series out!

 

[kitschykitty]

If I already have all the DLC for ME2 & 3, can I play them using the EA Access version?

Yes, they show up in the "Manage Game" menu under "Ready to Install"

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Yes.

Woo Hoo

 

[LegalEagleMike]

I appreciated the heads up, was going to pick up physical copies after working out later.

 

[barneystuta83]

Holy mother of hype.

Is the 360 version of 3 better than the Wii U version? I still got a sealed copy of that in my backlog.

 

[jesu]

I wasn't too bothered until I heard the were in the vault!
Woop!

time to put my saves in the cloud

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Wait nvm, if they are in The Vault then ill just buy the vault pass for a year. Thats a fucking steal.

 

[muzzymate]

How does DLC work for backwards compatibility?

It will show up in the game's "Ready to Install" section. And just download it from the Xbox One. That will make it available within the 360 emulator.

 

[IfAllElseFales]

Just noticed andromeda is up on the store as well with screenshots. No date though.

 

[jelly]

Looks like EA Access members get the games free.

Is the DLC included?

 

[kitschykitty]

Is the DLC included?

No

(unless it's added later but as of right now I don't have any DLC I didn't pay for)

 

[Storm360]

Is the DLC included?

Not yet, I'm keeping and eye on it and seeing if it pops up though (I imagine a few others here are doing the same too)

 

[IfAllElseFales]

Is the DLC included?

I checked the store and the DLCs still have prices for me so it doesn't look like it

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

I'm gammmmme bro

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

The three games are free? O_O

 

[The Artisan]

that's great news but we still need a remaster...

 

[blue_phazon]

Hopefully this pushes MS even more to get multi-disk games available on the digital store. For now, I suppose I'll just pay $5 to play them this month.

I'd like to see these + LO and BD on the xbl store

 

[Montresor]

This is huge news. 360 BC is honestly one of the best things about this gen to me. I love that back in September I basically put in 30+ hours into a 360 game (Forza Horizon 1) on my XB1... with all the advantages that OS has (i.e. multi-tasking, snapping apps, XB1 friends list, taking screenshots, etc...).

 

[BouncyFrag]

Yaaaaassss! Time to dust off the multiplayer.

 

[Lettuce]

Anyone else just want to get ME3 for the MP

 

[AwayFromInfinityx]

Holy shit...I might just play through the series again in time for ME4.

Xbox one BC is doig great things.

 

[RuhRo]

What does this mean for the remaster prospects? Nail the coffin?

I was hoping they'd shift to a 'remaster in the spring, Andromedia in the Fall' plan, after their most recent comments embracing the idea of re-releases...

 

[Giolon]

Did they fix the save file issue when importing saves to the new game with XBL cloud?

This problem here.

Anybody able to check in this?

I was under the impression that the coffin was already six feet under.
