So, Bioware just launched the Mass Effect Andromeda: APEX HQ, a hub for our playthroughs of MEA that's very similar to the ME3 HQ we had back then. apexhq.masseffectarchives.com/en/If you follow the link, it'll open up a webpage. On that webpage, click on Mass Effect Archives on the top right. Once there, there should be a tab that allows you to download the full soundtrack once you sign in to your EA account. NOTE: It's very likely that this is only available if you've pre-ordered the Deluxe or Super Deluxe editions of MEA only. No idea what the conditions are to have access to it, but it's there for me! I think you need the PC version with Deluxe/Super Deluxe, specifically, from what I've heard. Enjoy the hefty 900 MB download and 18 songs everyone!  And a picture, just to show this is no joke. imgur.com/lXMbZSwAlso, here's a list of the track titles for those interested. They aren't very spoilery at all, but I'll put them under spoiler block just to be safe 1. A Better Beginning
2. Memories
3. Exaltation
4. A Trail Of Hope
5. Khi Tasira
6. Neutron Purge
7. Voeld
8. Hunting the Archon
9. No More Mercy
10. Undiscovered
11. Vault
12. Resistance
13. Outlaw
14. Remnant
15. Jaardan
16. First Contact Protocol
17. Exiled
18. Heleus |

Thanks for the link. Been waiting for this for so long. The Google Play link leads to item not found for me but it could be I'm too early or country restrictions or its still being uploaded.
Edit: Just read the literature and here's the reason it may be unavailable for me,

Yeah, probably later. Whole thing came out of blue, even though it was hinted already something like this will be released. |

Only 18 tracks? Seems like the soundtrack should be longer, no?

Only 18 tracks? Seems like the soundtrack should be longer, no? Not that far off from what we usually see. ME3's soundtrack was 23 tracks for comparison's sake. And like usual, there will always be some unreleased tracks. ME1's was well over 30 tracks though, so maybe it is a bit less than usual. Guess we'll have to wait and see. |

Can confirm digital preorders on Xbox (with XBL linked to EA and an EA Access subscription as well) do not allow for downloading the soundtrack, even though they should according to the text on the soundtrack page.

ME2 had 27 but my main point that I should've included was that I would've thought the game would have bigger soundtrack based on the size of the game. |

Thanks for the heads-up! The first song, "A Better Beginning", is really good. Starting atmospheric, with mellow but not cheesy piano sounds, it progresses into a energetic orchestral track, with some electronic sounds mixed in. From what I can tell, it's really similar to the ME3-soundtrack. Unfortunately, none of the songs come even close to Jack Wall's masterpieces, like "Vigils-Theme", "Uncharted Worlds" or "Ilos Battle" .  As someone who absolutely loves good soundtracks, I have to say I am a bit disappointed. |

May require a connection to the game account formed by firing up the game. Will know in a few hours. Otherwise sure EA Answers will be able to help thereafter. |

I'm not going to submit a help ticket for this until after the game is launched. It seems like in general this page was released a bit early, to make sure it's live when the game comes out. |

You should be able to download it now. Yup, working now. Just sent out my first two strike missions! Looks like a well designed app. More expansive than ME3 HQ, since you can actually respec your character's skills and loadouts in the app. Also able to launch strike team missions without opening the game, which is a major plus. |

For those interested, the archives are up worldwide on the net, it's just the Apex App that's not available everywhere yet. You can get the soundtrack (if you have pre-ordered the deluxe or super deluxe indeed already for free) here: masseffectarchives.com/en_US/downloads |

I'm liking the inclusion of the original Mass Effect Theme at the end of "A Better Beginning". It's subtle, and I would love to have heard it more throughout the rest of the OST, but I love it regardless. Some good songs in here, but nothing super noteworthy in my opinion.

Thanks OP! Was wondering how I'd get the soundtrack.

You need to log into the game (non-trial version) first, apparently...
2 hours to go... (for Europe...)

I guess I'm going to have to torrent what I paid for just like when Mass Effect 3's collector's edition refused to give me the soundtrack |
