Here’s The Ones Every Fan Should Play

The Star Wars franchise has always had a great catalog of games, but recent summer sales on Steam make some of the series’ best titles available at affordable prices. Both modern titles and older classics have become far easier for PC players to pick up and experience. From large multiplayer titles to single-player stories,there are a few games that any bigStar Warsfan should try at least once.

A resurgence of attention to Star Wars games took place this year around early May 2025, and has still been going strong into the summer. The celebration of Star Wars Day on May 4, 2025, saw many titles regain their player base and even hit new records for total player counts on Steam. This revival of older Star Wars games likely led to lower prices to entice even more players.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection

Experience The Massive Battles That Started It All

One of the titles on sale during the summer is Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, which has a 25% discount on Steam right now. This game is a re-release of both of the classic Star Wars: Battlefront titles from 2004 and 2005, which allowed players to participate in massive battles across the galaxy. Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005) is one of the most celebrated Star Wars games of all time, mainly due to its variety of features.

The bundle of both classic games centers around you taking control of soldiers on different sides of galactic conflict, whether it be the Empire’s Stormtroopers or a Super Battle Droid for the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS). The sheer variety of character classes clash in huge conflicts that truly adopt the scale of Star Wars in familiar locations. Players can even take on the role of known characters in some games, including Darth Vader, Yoda, Luke Skywalker, and more.

GOG Celebrates Star Wars Day By Adding 5 New Classic Titles To Its Game Preservation Catalog

Five classic 90s and 00s Star Wars titles have arrived on the GOG (Good Old Games) PC games storefront, and they’re on a huge sale right now.

From new playable characters like Asajj Ventress and Kit Fisto to never-before-seen maps like Bespin: Cloud City in Battlefront II, there are new things to explore you won’t remember from the originals. While this game has received controversy for charging too much for minimal changes to familiar titles, the discounted price better reflects the returning experience being offered.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

Become The Galaxy’s Deadliest Mercenary

Being offered at a staggering 60% discount, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter makes an offer perfect for those who liked the criminal underworld of other games like Star Wars Outlaws. Similar to Outlaws, Bounty Hunter takes you to the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars universe, completing contracts for credits against the lowlifes of the universe. However, you do all of this while playing a familiar character – the infamous bounty hunter Jango Fett.

This game takes place before Attack of the Clones and after The Phantom Menace, telling an original story of how Jango Fett was hired by Count Dooku to become the template for the Republic’s clone army. This third-person action game sees you use every trick in Jango’s arsenal, from his iconic twin pistols to his jetpack, backpack rocket launcher, flamethrower, and more weapons best suited for a skilled bounty hunter.

The acrobatic action of Bounty Hunter is fast-paced, but not the sole focus of the game. As Jango must hunt down a Dark Jedi as part of his contract, he must use stealth and his gadgets to get out of tricky situations rather than blast his way out of every problem. Although not a very long game, the variety of contracts Jango must complete all make you play the game in unique ways, leading to an experience that stays fresh until the credits roll.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order & Survivor

Follow The Story Of A New Jedi

As you follow Cal’s story, you travel to new worlds and improve your skills through RPG systems that transform the Jedi from a novice into an experienced Knight. Each game features a variety of customization options too, allowing you to change the color of your lightsaber, Cal Kestis’ appearance, and other visuals as you play. All of these systems are offered alongside two gripping stories with rich characters and iconic figures from Star Wars‘ world.

The entire reason why Star Wars games are receiving discounts on Steam is because Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) has gotten a massive influx of players, revitalizing the multiplayer servers. This makes sense, as this massive game is on sale for 90% off, creating one of the best deals PC players can find for a Star Wars game. It helps that the content within Battlefront II (2017) is massive, giving players so much to do.

Battlefront II (2017) pits massive armies of Star Wars factions against each other from the three “eras” of the universe, including:

• Galactic Republic vs Confederacy of Independent Systems (Clone Wars)
• Galactic Empire vs Rebellion (Galactic Civil War)
• The First Order vs The Resistance (First Order-Resistance War)

Similar to the 2005 version of the game, players can take on the mantle of heroes and villains from all three eras, from old characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader to new figures like Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma. Furthermore, character classes return with new reinforcement units which all have individual weapons, mechanics, and other features that make each faction feel deep in every match.
