- Update: Developer Aspyr Media has responded to the backlash against Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection's tumultuous launch, explaining that "critical errors with our network infrastructure" led to the ongoing server issues and that it will continue working to improve it until it's "stabilized to prevent further outages."
- The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, a bundle of updated versions of 2004's Star Wars: Battlefront and 2005's Star Wars: Battlefront II, launched late on March 13. It's available for $35 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
- The collection has had a disastrous launch so far, with both of its games plagued by server issues and numerous other bugs.
- As a consequence, it's fallen to a "Mostly Negative" rating on Steam, with only 20% of its reviews being positive at the time of writing. It has a 2.5/5 average review score on Xbox as well.
- The disappointing re-release of these fan-favorite Star Wars games comes just a month after developer Aspyr launched the positively received Tomb Raider 1-3 remasters.
