It has been fifteen years since Pandemic Studios' original
Star Wars Battlefront video-game was released. The classic third-person-shooter released on the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows (and was made available to play on the Xbox 360 through backwards-compatibility). Now, with it being Star Wars Day, the iconic game is back in a big way.
With sales regarding a plethora of
Star Wars games going live on Steam and GOG, 2004's
Star Wars Battlefront is now available on PC through the two services (via
ResetEra). Its predecessor,
Star Wars Battlefront 2, has been available on the former games service for quite some time. It's modern counterparts (the two
Star Wars Battlefront games made by EA and DICE) are also available on PC, though through Origin rather than Steam or GOG.
On Steam, the game currently costs just £6.11 (taking into account the 15% off deal of the Star Wars Day sale). The following are some other examples of
