The Mass Effect Legendary Edition system requirements are official, giving PC players about three months to make sure their rigs are in (space)ship shape.
All three games from the original Mass Effect trilogy have been updated and remastered for inclusion in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and it also includes almost all of their DLC. These games were all originally designed to run on Xbox 360 and PS3-era hardware, but EA and BioWare are looking for better specs if you want to run these remastered versions at their minimum and recommended settings. You'll need a good amount of storage space either way, considering their age.
Here are the Mass Effect Legendary Edition system requirements straight from Steam, broken down into both the minimum settings you'll need to play and the settings recommended for enjoying the optimal experience.
