As you now know, at the editorial office, we are all very fond of everything related directly or indirectly to Star Wars. We therefore carefully comb through any production inspired by the cult universe of Georges Lucas, whether it is a Disney+ series, such as the excellent Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi, or even games that allow us to embody our favorite characters. Also, as much to tell you that we were very happy to learn what was the free game of the week on the Epic Games Store.
Indeed, for those who do not know, Epic has offered since its launch a free event to all users of its online store. Earlier this year, for example, we were treated to Wolfenstein: The New Order and, with the Christmas holidays fast approaching, players are waiting to see what other big title Epic will pull out of its pocket to offer to its users. In the meantime, the firm has given us something to wait for a while.
Go ahead and download Star Wars Squadrons from the Epic Games Stores, it’s free
Indeed, users can now play the excellent Star Wars Squadrons for free, by downloading it from the Epic Games Store. Released in 2020, the title from Motive Studios lets you play as a spaceship pilot, whose sole purpose is to annihilate enemy fighters. Those nostalgic for Bioware’s brilliant MMO The Old Republic will even find the pleasure of choosing between the New Republic and the Galactic Empire.
Upon release, the game received very positive critical reception, earning a very respectable 79 on Metacritic. Of course, you have to be sensitive to the subtleties of the space battle, but if this is your case, we only advise you to jump at the chance to test it if this is not the case yet. Connoisseurs will rediscover the sensations of the mythical Star Wars: X-Wing of 1993.
