Mass Effect: Andromeda multiplayer microtransaction prices revealed, can go as high as £80

The multiplayer mode in Mass Effect: Andromeda will offer the ability to unlock in-game items using real-world money.

Much like in Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s multiplayer mode will let you buy in-game items by spending real money. Today, the real-world value for these have been revealed.

UK retailer ShopTo (via GamesRadar+) is now taking pre-orders on Andromeda Points, the in-game currency you can buy with real money.

There are multiple options available, starting from £4 all the way up to £80. We only have UK prices at the moment, since ShopTo is the only place selling them for now. That said, it’s not hard to speculate how the US and Euro prices are going to be.

Here’s how many points you get in every pack:

• 500 points – £3.95
• 1020 points – £7.96
• 2150 points – £15.95
• 3250 points – £24.95
• 5750 points – £39.95
• 12,000 points – £79.96

Andromeda Points are used to buy blind loot boxes which contain an assortment of in-game weapons and boosts. It’s not clear, however, how many boxes we’ll be able to get for say, 500 points.

We’ll soon find out, though, as the EA and Origin Access trial will go live starting March 16. The multiplayer portion, as well as the in-game store, will be available from that point on.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is out March 21 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
