Star Wars: The Old Republic (often abbreviated as SWTOR) has quietly become one of the biggest success stories in the MMO galaxy. This story-driven MMORPG by BioWare launched in late 2011 with a blockbuster budget and high expectations. Years later, many players still adventure in its galaxy far, far away – and that loyal player base translates into a significant revenue stream for the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts (EA). But just how much money does SWTOR actually pull in on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis? Let’s crunch the numbers (in credits, of course) and break it down. SWTOR’s Lifetime Revenue Milestone SWTOR may not dominate headlines like it used to, but financially it’s performed impressively over the long haul. In fact, by late 2019 EA announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic was “closing in on $1 billion in lifetime revenue” (1). Believe it or not, this eleven-year-old online…

Star Wars Battlefront II Smashes Steam Player Record After 90% Off Sale
What happens when a legendary Star Wars shooter goes on sale for the price of a vending machine soda? It blows up the charts—literally. Star Wars Battlefront II just broke its all-time concurrent player record on Steam, with over 20,000 players jumping into the galaxy far, far away as of June 21, 2025. And the Force behind this resurgence? A whopping 90% discount on the game. A Comeback Story That’s Almost Canon-Worthy Let’s be honest—Battlefront II didn’t exactly launch as the chosen one back in 2017. Thanks to infamous loot box drama and a progression system that felt more like Sith alchemy than balanced gameplay, it became the poster child for what not to do in AAA monetization. But EA and DICE turned things around. Fast forward to today, and it’s now regarded as one of the most polished and content-rich Star Wars multiplayer experiences available. Now, with a $3.99…
