(Updated With Patch Notes!) Mass Effect Andromeda Update 1.06 Goes Live Today 

Upon release, Mass Effect Andromeda was seemingly plagued with issues. Awkward facial animations, peculiar body animations, various bugs and glitches. I could go on, but if you been online for more than five minutes, there’s no way you haven’t heard about the games rough launch. 

Bioware has promised to do their best to fix these issues, as they have a “road map” to achieving that goal. Previous updates have helped with issues, but Bioware isn’t giving up. Update 1.06, which goes live TODAY, will take multiplayer servers offline for an hour. What exactly will update 1.06 have to offer? Not sure. All Bioware did was to announce the update. No more details were given. Look for it go to live at 10AM MDT.

If you’ve been waiting to buy the game or sat it aside waiting for the team at Bioware to give you a better game, perhaps now is the time?

Here’s the Details!!
