STAR WARS™ Battlefront

Set during battles from the original Star Wars trilogy, the game casts players as Rebel or Imperial soldiers. It focuses on multiplayer combat and standalone missions rather than a story campaign. Fight across ground battles and starfighter dogfights on planets including Hoth, Endor, and Tatooine. Use blasters, pilot vehicles such as X-wings and AT-ATs, and play as iconic heroes in certain modes. Battles offer different objectives and scales. Standalone play includes skirmish battles and survival missions against waves of enemies, with solo and co-op options. Progression unlocks weapons and gear. The Ultimate Edition also includes four expansions with additional maps, heroes, weapons, and modes.

Fight as Rebels or Imperials in a first- or third-person shooter with battles across iconic planets, vehicles, and playable heroes.

Multiplayer The store metadata lists Single-player, Online PvP, Multiplayer, Co-op, Online Co-Op, and Split Screen. Reviews indicate online competitive multiplayer exists, with both 12-player and 40-player modes mentioned, plus private matches and some co-op/offline bot-supported modes. Reviews also state there is no campaign, and solo play is mainly skirmish, survival, missions, or bot matches.
Multiplayer & mods Reviews say mods can bring DLC maps and multiplayer modes into singleplayer skirmish on PC, but one review says those modded maps may lack AI. A review also mentions using private match lobbies with friends via Nexus mods to rank up or work on DLC weapons. No evidence shows mods are an official or general multiplayer feature.
