Update: Star Wars Battlefront, the classic, is also on Origin Access, the storefront of the folks who published Star Wars Battlefront, the 2015 reboot. Players who did not want to pay to unlock the games lootboxes, which. The game was released on November 17, 2017, and was heavily criticized by early adopters for its loot box system, calling it a 'pay-to-win' system, due to its close tie to multiplayer progression. Other Star Wars titles are on sale through Xbox Live marketplace for the Star Wars Day weekend include Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens for $10 (Deluxe Edition for $15) 2017’s Star Wars: Battlefront 2 for $7.50 (a savings of $17.49) the Ultimate Edition of Star Wars Battlefront (2015) for $5 ($14.99 off) and the Hoth Bundle for that game for $9.90 (a $20.09 savings). Star Wars Battlefront II is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person and shooter game in the Star Wars: Battlefront series. Battlefront 2 is on the PlayStation Store - but only as a PlayStation Vita/PSP title - along with the lesser known Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for PSP from 2009. Star Wars Battlefront came to the Xbox Marketplace in April 2018 (and is $5.99), and Pandemic’s 2005 follow-up Battlefront 2 came to Xbox Live Games With Gold back in April. But, as noted earlier by Eurogamer, a Steam user has supplied this guide for getting into a community server for the Steam version. When GameSpy went kaput in 2014, it took down official multiplayer support for the original Battlefront with it. This is the first time the first game in the series has been available to PC players in an online marketplace, which is a big deal as the physical edition’s multiplayer required either a LAN or a direct IP network connection.

Pandemic Studios’ classic shooter is $8.49 at both marketplaces. The original PC version of the game supported up to 64 players - which according to Steam Charts is right around double the Steam version’s average player count - but it’s not clear how big you can make games this time around.ĭespite the fact that the game is approaching two decades old at this point, this is the second update the Steam version has gotten since its 2019 release.The original Star Wars Battlefront from 2004 is now available on both Steam and GOG.com as part of a Star Wars Day (May the Fourth) promotion with LucasArts. The original release of Battlefront also had multiplayer, which could be played either over a local area connection, by using the GameSpy servers on PS2 or and PC, or over Xbox Live on the original Xbox.īattlefront was re-released on Steam in 2019, as Star Wars: Battlefront (Classic, 2004) but since GameSpy shut down long before that back in 2014, there wasn’t a multiplayer option, outside of custom workarounds.

This new update, which is only for the Steam version of the game -because the other platforms it was released on were the PlayStation 2 and Xbox - adds online multiplayer. With Adam Howden, Adam James, Al Doyle, Alana Maria.
