This feature opens up after completing the Priority Ops (main quest) mission chain. When a completed game save is detected, a “New Game+” option appears in the main menu upon selecting “New Game.” Starting a new game with this option allows you to start a brand-new game, except with most of your previous stats carried over, starting from the Character Creation interface. Before you begin, you can alter various customizations, such as which Ryder twin to play, as well as his or her training history.
Replaying the game with New Game+ makes for a good opportunity to complete the game on higher difficulty settings, since you have access to all of your gear, skills, and profiles.
