Mass Effect 2 RPG for Windows PC

Mass Effect 2 is a single-player science-fiction role-playing game published by Electronic Arts. The story continues Commander Shepard's mission two years after the first game, tasking players with assembling a squad to investigate the disappearance of human colonies. The boxed retail edition uses a basic disc check and does not require online authentication.

Suits players seeking a narrative-driven RPG

This release targets Windows XP SP3, Vista SP1 and Windows 7 with modest hardware requirements. Buyers who want a modern digital storefront integration, automatic patching through a client, or controller-focused gameplay should look elsewhere. The disc-based installation also means an optical drive is mandatory.

Requires a video card

Minimum graphics hardware includes NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or ATI Radeon X1600 Pro chipsets; several later low-end models such as the GeForce 7300, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 9300 and Radeon HD3200, HD4350 are explicitly listed as below the minimum requirement. Intel and S3 video cards are not officially supported.
