Gamers were told last night that the Xbox 360 version of BioWare’s upcoming Mass Effect 2 will require a disk swap during the game.

Community coordinator Chris Priestly confirmed that PC users will be able to install the game and will not be prompted to change discs while playing, however, Xbox 360 users aren’t so lucky.

“The Xbox 360 does not have an install and does require disc swapping during play.” He admits, but is keen to point out that it should not affect the game experience, “Even though there is a disc swap, it occurs at a carefully planned place in the game (that does not interfere with gameplay) and is done once. You do not swap back and forth. 1 swap and then done.”

If anyone still had any worries, Priestly assured potential Mass Effect 2 players, “Why 2 discs? Answer: Because you cannot fit this much awesome on one disc.”Check out our hands-on preview for more on this highly anticipated title.
