Mass Effect Legendary Edition will never be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X - here's why

The guys from BioWare have been clear since the announcement, explaining that next May Mass Effect Legendary Edition will be launched only on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC: there is no specific version for next-generation consoles, which will be able to in any case, run it in backward compatibility.

If any of you were still hoping for a graphical update after launch, they will be disappointed. Director Marc Walters explained that this will never happen, as developing a version of the collection for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X would represent a "leap too big". He then added: "If I buy a game on a new generation console, I expect a lot from the graphics, a lot more than what we could get from Unreal Engine 3, a lot more what we would be able to get out. from a remaster ". An adaptation operation for next-gen consoles, according to the director, would not return the results expected by gamers, acquiring the characteristics of a "false" operation. The real leap will be made with the next chapter of Mass Effect, assures Walters, entirely designed for next-generation consoles.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition, remember, will be launched on May 14 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Clearly, it can also be played backwards compatible on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, where it will benefit from faster loading.
