You better start deleting all those 360-no-scope video clips to make room for the Mass Effect Legendary Edition file size. The game’s storage requirements have been revealed and it is going to take up quite a chunk of your console HDD or SSD. Both the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game are set to weigh in at over 80GB which is not too bad if you take into account that the game includes three complete packages and over 40 DLC packs.
In addition to the three games, BioWare also remastered a lot of the game’s original assets including textures, models, music and much more. If anything, the entire package comes in at almost double the combined file size for the original trilogy.
