STAR WARS™: Squadrons

Set after Return of the Jedi, the single-player story follows pilots on both the New Republic and Imperial sides of a conflict. Between missions, pilots visit the hangar and briefings before taking to space. Combat is fought from inside the cockpit in first person. Fly different classes of starfighters, engage enemies and tactical objectives, customize ship components, and divert power between weapons, shields, and engines. Beyond the campaign, pilots can enter 5v5 dogfights or fleet battles with a squadron. Play is also available in VR, and progression unlocks ship components and cosmetic items.

Pilot New Republic and Imperial starfighters in cockpit-view dogfights, managing ship systems in a campaign and squadron battles.
