BioWare has denied that Mass Effect 2 is on its way to PlayStation 3 after fans uncovered references to the Sony platform in files included with the PC version.

As reported by Eurogamer Portugal, the PC version includes various references to PS3 in DefaultEngine.ini and other files.

BioWare's Chris Priestly replied on the official forum: "Unreal Engine is cross-platform, hence the PS3 code. This was brought up back in Mass Effect 1 days as well. Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360."

Mass Effect 2 came out on PC and Xbox 360 last week to much acclaim, and currently sits atop the UK charts.
