Star Wars Battlefront II Celebration Edition Only $4 on PC

If you’ve been eyeing Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017), now’s your moment. For a limited time — until September 25, 2025 — the Celebration Edition is on sale on Steam, discounted by 80%, bringing it down to about $4. It’s an incredible deal, especially given the recent revival in player activity and renewed community energy.

Why the Game Is Buzzing Again

Battlefront II hasn’t been “dead” for a while — but lately, something shifted.

Surging Player Counts: In May 2025, the game shot up the charts. It jumped from #135 to #12 among best-selling PC titles in the U.S.
High Steam Peaks: It recently reached over 35,000 concurrent players on Steam — beating its previous highs. True revival vibes.
Community Pushback & Support: Players have been vocal about wanting anti-cheat updates, better server stability, and more content. There’s also been visible energy from streamers, fan forums, and modding communities.

So pairing the sale with this renewed buzz? Smart move, EA.

What You Get With the $4 Celebration Edition

For around $4, you get the Celebration Edition, which includes:

The base Battlefront II game, with all its core multiplayer modes and campaigns.
A large selection of cosmetic customization content — trooper skins, emotes, hero appearances tied to eras and films (especially stuff released up through “The Rise of Skywalker” era)
What you don’t get: certain DLCs post-“Celebration Edition cutoff” and possibly items added after December 2019. Always good to double check before buying.

Pros & Cons: Is It Worth It?

Here’s what to weigh if you’re thinking of buying:

✅ Pros	⚠️ Cons
Massive discount — value is huge for what you get.	Still some lingering issues with PC cheating / exploits in certain modes.
Strong multiplayer modes across eras (Original, Prequel, Sequel).	No new content coming; most updates have wound down.
Good entry point into the Player community, which is more active than it has been in years.	Cosmetic content only — gameplay expansions or major new maps aren’t part of this deal.
Better if you enjoy jumping into PvP, co-op, space & ground battles with familiar heroes.	If you care about anti-cheat / fair competition, some modes on PC still have problems.

If your priorities are “play a Star Wars online shooter with friends,” “be a hero or villain with lightsabers,” or “spaceships, battles, fast paced matches” — this deal is hard to beat.

What Comes After the Buy

Once you’ve grabbed the Celebration Edition, here are a few tips to make the most of it:

Dive into the community: forums (Steam discussions, Reddit), Discord servers, mod groups like Kyber, etc. They often share tips, organize matches, address bugs, and pull the weight in keeping the game alive and fun.
Try different modes: Galactic Assault, Supremacy, Hero vs Villain, etc. The meta shifts, especially when there are player influxes.
Keep your expectations realistic: since active development has slowed, new content won’t appear as frequently. But the existing content is still solid, especially with a busy player base.
Watch sales or community-driven updates: occasionally mods, or third-parties push fixes, and EA has responded at times. So there’s some upside there.

Final Thoughts

For around $4, Star Wars: Battlefront II offers enormous bang for buck. Paired with a community that’s come back in force, it’s a great time to jump in — whether you played back when or are only now hearing about it.

Just remember: price is cheap, memories are rich, and the fun is real — but some rough edges remain. If you can live with that, this deal could be one of the best Star Wars shooter bargains of the year.
