Mass Effect DLC free for PC

The Bring Down The Sky content pack for Mass Effect is available for free now for the PC version.

The PC version of Mass Effect has had a fair share of trouble in its short time on shelves - mainly to do with the later release date and the anti-piracy DRM bundled inside the software, but finally there's some good news.

EA Bioware has just announced that the downloadable content pack for the game, titled as Bring Down The Sky, has been made available for PC gamers to download free of charge. That's a powerful spite for all those Xbox 360 owners who paid top dollar for it!

Bring Down The Sky tells the story of some Batarian terrorists who are gearing up to crash a rocket-propelled asteroid into a nearby human colony, and it's your job to stop them. You can get more information on Bring Down The Sky in our review of the Xbox 360 version, but since the PC version is free you can pretty much just download it anyway.

If you want to grab the extra free content then you can download the pack here and the latest patch, or follow the prompts on the launch screen of the game.

The pack adds another 90 minutes or so to the game, supposedly. Let us know what you think of it in the forums.

i'm tempted to buy this game heard good things about it, this is more of a reason to buy it i guess

The fact that it's free isn't actually news. It's advertised on the back of the games case, "Includes free additional content - face off against the horrific Batarians". I was actually very disapointed that I couldn't do that straight out of the box since the content was already made (and implied with the game). I'll try it out later, but such a delayed addition is pretty crap, I'm done with that game twice over and just want the next one =/

You don't get anything for free, you may not be paying for it directly but at some point somebody does - even indirectly. In this case its sponsered.

Its not free, its included in the price of the retail game, as Mentai says.

I would have expected bit-tech to know its stuff.
