If you’ve already swiped this week’s Epic Store free games – Evil Dead: The Game and Dark Deity – and still remain unsated, you might want to pop next Thursday in your diary when something else shoots down the freebie pipe in the form of EA Motive’s Star Wars: Squadrons.
Star Wars: Squadrons is something of a spiritual successor to LucasArts beloved X-Wing series. It’s set during the final days of the Galactic Empire, after the events of Return of the Jedi, and sees players engaging in deep space dogfights, both in multiplayer and in its bit of a campaign mode. There’s even VR support if you’re appropriately equipped.
Eurogamer’s enjoyed Star Wars: Squadrons when it released back in 2020, describing it “an immersive space sim that’s dazzling in VR [and] an exhilarating multiplayer experience, even if the story feels pedestrian.”
