Upcoming 'Mass Effect: Andromeda' available early for EA Access users

"Mass Effect: Andromeda" can be played early by the EA Access subscribers. The fact proves that the biggest perk for being a member is the opportunity to play EA's biggest titles before it is officially released.

While it is normal for some of the EA-released games to skip out the early release period for the EA Access subscribers, the official "Mass Effect" Twitter page answers a follower question which confirms the early access period. However, the restrictions for the early access edition of the game is unclear.

According to Game Rant, it is possible that the EA Access Trial for the "Mass Effect: Andromeda" game will only last for 10 hours, which is the same as the other games on the service. It is also possible that players can only advance to a certain plot point before they are cut off until the official release.

Also, another alternative restriction is that the game's story mode will be blocked off. Instead, players might be given access to the game's multiplayer mode instead, which certainly gives a taste of what the game has to offer without spoiling other fans.

In other news, the final frame rate for the "Mass Effect: Andromeda" game as well as its resolution is yet to be revealed. It is likely that BioWare will reveal it close to the game's launch alongside its PC requirements.

However, BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn took to the NeoGAF forums and gave an idea as to what to expect. He said that the last time he checked, the game runs on par with other Frostbite games, running at 1080p on PS4 and 900p on Xbox One. Additionally, both these versions are locked at 30fps, but Flynn said that the game's cutscenes will push it.

"Mass Effect: Andromeda" will be released on March 21 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Here is the video trailer of the game.
