Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 are now compatible with Xbox One, making the entire original trilogy playable on Microsoft’s current hardware. Both games are available today in celebration of N7 Day, a “holiday” recognized by series fans every Nov. 7.
Both Mass Effect sequels were long thought unplayable on Xbox One, due to its backward compatibility feature not allowing for multi-disc titles upon its initial release. Following an update that brought the dual-disc Deus Ex: Human Revolution — Director’s Cut to Xbox One, however, Microsoft confirmed that it had figured out how to make games stretched across more than one disc work with the console.
