Star Wars: Squadrons is currently available for free
Electronic Arts doesn’t enjoy the greatest of reputations among Star Wars fans, and there are good reasons for that. When the games developer and publisher gets things right, it gets them very right indeed, but when it gets them wrong, they’re frequently awful. As a fandom, we’ve had some dreadful Star Wars products from EA over the years, but their form has been better thus far in the 2020s. When they released Star Wars: Squadrons at the end of 2020, it was late, but it was fantastic. It was well worth anybody’s money when it was brand new, and it’s still a great game now. We appreciate that not everybody has a limitless budget for video games. There are a few people who won’t have picked up Star Wars: Squadrons when it first came out – partially because they didn’t have the cash and partially because they didn’t trust Electronic…

Has Disney Failed With Star Wars Video Games?
Star Wars is one of the most successful and iconic movie franchises of all time and has even had a hand in expanding the gaming landscape. There have been over 30 Star Wars video games, but Disney wants to change that and release a new SW game every six months. The franchise’s fans fear that having this much content could harm the series. Fast Release May Not Be A Good Idea Disney wants to keep the momentum for their Star Wars division by releasing new content regularly. And although the idea sounds great on paper, even if these new projects do indeed come out, many factors could wreck this plan right from the start. Disney is looking to ramp up the number of video games coming out over the next few years. While this is just an announcement, there are already some concerns about decreased demand in the market.
