With Mass Effect: Legendary Edition set to release on May 14, the developers are disclosing several key details related to it. One such important piece of information that unveiled today was the minimum and maximum system requirements.
Whenever a new game is set to roll out, the only question that comes to our mind is: Can I Run it?
The good news is that most modern PCs can easily run Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Its system requirements should not exhaust most systems.
You can take a look at the official Mass Effect: Legendary Edition system requirements down below:
| Minimum Specs | Recommended Specs | |
| OS | 64-bit Windows 10 | 64-bit Windows 10 |
| Processor | Intel Core i5 3570 or AMD FX-8350 | Intel Core i7-7700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |

| DirectX | Version 11 | Version 11 |
| GPU VRam | 2 GB Video Memory | 4 GB Video Memory |
| Storage | 120GB available space | 120GB available space |
The biggest demand that Mass Effect Legendary Edition places is the humongous storage space of 120GB. Then again, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to PC users.
The first three original games of the franchise: Mass Effect(2007), Mass Effect 2(2010), and Mass Effect 3(2012), are being fused together. To be able to play these classic games with modern, superior upgrades alongside 40 DLCs will at least require 120GB storage.
To experience the beauty of galaxies at their peak, you will have to invest in a good graphic card. Anything as powerful as GTX 1070 or RX Vega 56 will be needed to run the game on High graphics settings.
Talking about recommended specs, if you can get a Core i7-7700 or Ryzen 7 3700X processor, you’ll be golden!
GTX 760/Radeon HD 7970 paired with i5-3570 or FX-8350 CPU would be needed at the least when it comes to the lowest graphic settings.
If you think your PC is lacking specs-wise, then you still have three months to save money for revamping your system’s hardware.
