Mass Effect 2 and 3 join Xbox One backwards compatibility, free for EA Access members

BioWare has kicked off N7 Day with a shiny new cinematic trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda and some all-round fantastic news for Mass Effect fans.

From today, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 will both be backwards compatible on Xbox One, making the full trilogy available to owners of the console.

Moreover, EA Access subscribers can access all three games from today in the Vault, which houses classic EA games, free of charges.

It’s pretty kick-ass news for a day where Mass Effect takes priority of everything, even eating and drinking water (yeah that’s right!).

If you’re only just becoming interested in the Mass Effect series, then this is really the perfect time to jump in. While Mass Effect hasn’t aged particularly well, both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 are spectacular games in their own right.

The latter may have been the subject of controversial gamer angst over what was claimed to be a sell-out ending, but future DLC packs — which are bordering on free these days — address a lot of the questions and issues fans had with the ending.

If you own the games on disc, you’ll need them in order to download the BC compatibility patch to play on Xbox One. You’ll need a disc in order to play them at all, unless you’re an EA Access subscriber.
