Mass Effect Legendary Edition released last Friday and BioWare is working hard to sort out the collection’s teething issues. Today’s patch looks to fix some of those, including issues with trophy progress being tracked and a variety of different graphical tweaks.
The main purpose of the patch was to fix a pretty big issue for Xbox Series X players where the game would refuse to launch if the player was using a wireless headset. PlayStation players don’t miss out, though, as there are fixes for kills being improperly tracked for trophies in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 3, plus the aforementioned graphical improvements. The full patch notes are below.
