In addition to this update, the first Mass Effect expansion, "Bring Down the Sky," is now available for download for free as well, unlike Xbox Live. The full changelog is available for viewing on the Mass Effect website, but for the sake of convenience, we shall reproduce it here as well.

• fixed an issue where the center channel for hardware audio wouldn’t play correctly sometimes
• fixed an issue where the hardware mouse pointer would disappear when first selected
• fixed an issue where Shepard did not auto-crouch when entering cover in some places
• fixed a tool-tip indicating a game restart is needed before enabling hardware or software audio if the option was changed
• fixed an issue where ambient conversation would not be heard from rear speakers sometimes
