Mass Effect: Andromeda Microtransaction Pricing Revealed

Like many other AAA games, BioWare's just-released Mass Effect: Andromeda offers microtransactions for its multiplayer mode. Now that the game is available in the wild, pricing for its virtual currency, called Points, has emerged on digital storefronts such as the Xbox Store and the PlayStation Store.

Points can be spent on new multiplayer packs, which come with cosmetic items. Alternatively, multiplayer packs can be acquired through normal gameplay, so the microtransactions are more of a means to unlock the items more quickly.

Andromeda's Points are offered in bundles, starting with 500 for $5 and running up to 12,000 for $100. As always, EA/Origin Access subscribers on Xbox One and PC can save 10 percent on the prices.

Mass Effect: Andromeda Microtransaction Pricing:

• 500 Points -- $5
• 1,050 Points -- $10
• 2,150 Points -- $20
• 3,250 Points -- $30
• 5,750 Points -- $50
• 12,000 Points -- $100

Andromeda launches today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. GameSpot's review scored the spacefaring RPG a 6/10.
