Mass Effect: Andromeda is almost here, and if you are a die-hard Mass Effect fan, you’re going to want to begin playing as soon as possible. Good news, because you’ll be starting your new adventure as Ryder right at midnight tonight.

According to the Xbox Store, Mass Effect: Andromeda will unlock right at midnight on Tuesday, March 21. The same will go for PS4 and PC users as well. It seems like this could be 12 am EST, so those on the Pacific Coast can probably start playing as early as 9 pm on Monday night.

If you happen to own an Xbox One or a PC and want to start playing RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND, sign up for EA Access on Xbox One or Origin Access on PC. They’re essentially the same service, and will allow you to play Mass Effect: Andromeda for up to 10 hours. While the main storyline does limit progression in those 10 hours, the multiplayer can go all the way up to the time limit if you want.

If you are downloading Mass Effect: Andromeda to your PS4 or Xbox One, make sure you have the hard drive space ready. This is a big game, and may require some data management. Andromeda comes in at 43.0 GB for PS4 and 42.19GB on Xbox One.

So what do you think? Are you excited that Mass Effect: Andromeda is finally here? Will you be playing as female or male Ryder? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
