Mass Effect 2 is currently free to download for all members of Electronic Arts’ Origin distribution platform. Windows PC copies of the critically acclaimed game’s Standard Edition are “on the house” for a limited time, requiring only an Origin account to grab one.
This is the second time Electronic Arts has given Mass Effect 2 away for free in recent weeks. On Dec. 20, the publisher offered the game for a short period of time, although it didn’t appear to be a part of the Origin on the House promotion.
Mass Effect 2 typically costs $19.99 for the Standard Edition, while the Deluxe Edition, which includes a soundtrack, digital comic, art book and bonus weapons, costs $29.99.
For those who have yet to try the Mass Effect games, this may be a good chance to do so. The franchise’s upcoming entry Mass Effect: Andromeda is coming off a big week, during which Electronic Arts and developer BioWare revealed it’s long-awaited release date. The PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One game will launch on March 21 in North America.
