Mass Effect Legendary Edition Community Tribute Trailer May 13, 2021

It feels like yesterday when I preordered the original Mass Effect on Xbox 360. After popping it into my console I would spend days getting lost in the universe at my fingertips. When I played the opening of Mass Effect 2 years later, the moment the game revealed the Normandy had been rebuilt, The Illusive Man might as well have been saying, “I present to you the Astro Megaship MK 2, fresh off the construction yards of KL-35, the fastest spaceship in the galaxy.”
That was just my story, and EA has captured the stories of other players detailing what Mass Effect has meant to them.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One. They’re forward compatible with the Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Twenty years ago this year the original Xbox console was launched in the US, alongside the game Halo: Combat Evolved. Since then, Microsoft has launched three more generations of game consoles who have held their own against the big boys of Sony and Nintendo.
They may not have always been on top, but they have been known to revolutionize, be it from the launch of Xbox Live to the Kinect camera. Who knows, hopefully we will see the Master Chief return later this year!
Happy Birthday, Xbox!
