Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Can Run In up to 240 FPS on PC

EA shared information on the performance of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition on various platforms. Graphics modes on consoles were revealed, as well as how many fps we can expect from them.

Only eight days separate us from the release of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, a set of remastered versions of BioWare's three space RPGs. Those waiting for the debut of the project should be interested in an article published on the official website, which describes the game's performance in terms of resolution and fps on different hardware platforms.

PC version of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition at 240 fps

In the case of the PC version we will get all our PC's got left. Those with powerful enough hardware will be able to enjoy the fun in 240 fps and refresh rate of up to 240 Hz.

The PC edition will of course offer numerous graphics options, enabling us to adjust the quality to the capabilities of our rig.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition performance options on consoles

The issue of console editions looks interesting. Players will be able to choose between two modes:

  1. Focus on quality - priority will be given to visual quality, at the expense of a reduced target fps.
  2. Focus on performance - priority will be given to getting the highest possible fps number at the expense of graphics.

These options are pretty standard, but Electronic Arts has also stated what we can expect from them on specific hardware platforms:

Platform:

Focus on quality

Focus on performance

PS4

Up to 30 fps in 1080p

Up to 60 fps in 1080p

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is coming to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Owners of PS5 and Xbox X/S Series will be able to play the game via backward compatibility. As you can see in the list above, the game will run better on next-gens.

The release will take place on May 14, this year, simultaneously on all hardware platforms. Along with the game, the first patch will be released, which will improve the performance and stability of the engine.

While waiting for the release of the project, it's worth going to the official website, where you can download for free additional materials that were originally included in the Deluxe Edition of Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, as well as the soundtrack from the first game. The promotion will last until May 31 or until the limit of downloads is reached, so those interested are advised to hurry.
