It’s Black Friday and no matter what site or store you visit today, and across most of the weekend, there will be video games on offer for very tempting, much lower prices. You’ll be hard-pushed to find a better gaming deal than this one, though. Mass Effect’s Legendary Edition, which combines the remastered version of the original trilogy into one collection, for less than $5.
The Legendary Edition of the Mass Effect trilogy has had its price cut from $59.99 to just $4.79 on Steam, a drop of more than 90 percent. That’s 108 hours of game for less than it costs for a pint, or a cup of coffee, or pretty much any drink with caffeine or alcohol in it, and a high that will last a lot longer than the ones you might get from any of them.

What I Want From Mass Effect After Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The Veilguard ended up too similar to Mass Effect, so what does Mass Effect do now?
If you know Mass Effect at all, you’ll know that it’s almost certainly more than 108 hours of entertainment too. The Legendary Edition includes all of the trilogy’s DLC content, so a tonne of side quests and additional stuff to explore. Plus, since your Mass Effect journey is dictated by the decisions you make, every playthrough is unique meaning you’ll likely feel compelled to start over and do it all again but differently as soon as you’re finished with your first playthrough.
Mild spoilers here for the first game in the series so skip this box if you’re picking up Mass Effect for the first time during this Black Friday sale, but if you lose Wrex on Virmire, you have to stop and restart immediately. I don’t make most of the rules but I am enforcing this one.

If There’s A Better Video Game Deal This Black Friday Weekend, I Haven’t Seen It
Even if you don’t do your gaming on PC, you can still get the remastered Mass Effect trilogy for considerably less than usual. While not quite as good an offer as the one available on Steam, the Legendary Edition is heavily discounted on the PlayStation and Xbox Stores too. 90 percent price cuts on both platforms, the $60 collection is down to $5.99 for console gamers.
If you have managed to hold out on games you want until this weekend then well done you, and it feels like you’re being rewarded for doing so more than ever. Joining Mass Effect in the under $5 deals threshold is Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. If you don’t mind spending a little more than that, or you’re after discounted games for Nintendo Switch, Tears Of The Kingdom and GTA’s remastered trilogy are among a lot of titles available for less for a limited time on the eShop.
