• Not recommended Posted June 17, 2025 on Steam Quite honestly, I don't think I've been so disappointed in my life when it comes to this game. I've been an X-Wing player for the last 20+ years and this has all the amazing parts of it, save for one. All the fighters feel slow to respond, even an A wing feels like trash when you're trying to do evasive manoeuvres. The maps feel amazing, but SO SMALL! ALso, goodbye multiplayer. RIP servers with players. I am so sad. I wanted to love this game so much. I bought it on day one, gave it all the chances, and felt so disappointed. Playing Battlefront II in starfighter mode felt better. The games had more players fighting each other, the flight felt a lot tighter, all in all it just felt like a better game, which is wild, because it definitely shouldn't be. This was supposed to be the game, but that's the one I keep going back to. I feel worried about the future of this kind of game. I want this to be treated better. MAKE A CO-OP CAMPAIGN! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Come on. I'm sorry, I'm grumpy and I have a keyboard. Ignore everything but this: Do not buy this game right now if you're craving multiplayer, it's dead.

But its such a nice spaceship simulator and the story is nice to play too....just short, wait for a 2-4€ sale (its like every month on sale) and buy it for the...like 6-8hours story) Have many hours on this game at the ea app and it was a nice time, but R.I.P to this Multiplayer.
• Recommended Posted December 2, 2025 on Steam I don’t care about online so I can’t speak to that but the campaign is pretty fun and worth it for the $4 sale this game often goes on
• Not recommended Posted November 14, 2025 on Steam This game used to be great, but is no longer being supported by devs. Big known game breaking bugs have been present for multiple years. Continous crashing, some UI doesnt work in VR anymore, etc.
• Not recommended Posted December 26, 2025 on Steam Congratulations, EA, you broke the game for VR, and otherwise turned it to a frustrating experience! When this game first came out, I absolutely loved it. It wasn't perfect, no game is, but as someone who played all of the previous X-Wing games, this is what I had been wanting for so long. The graphics are pretty fantastic, the story was great, and I loved the characters. Then when I got the Rift-S, I tried it in VR and LOVED being able to freely look around and have a (somewhat) peripheral vision. For unrelated reasons, I stopped playing after only about 7 hours. Now, years later, I've decided to get back into it, especially to see how beautiful this game looks on a Quest 3 streaming from my PC! .........Except it has become a hot mess of a program. Upon first launching in normal mode (not VR), I had to install the anti-cheat thing. I generally hate how invasive those are, but whatever, I installed it. Game immediately crashed upon launch. Launched again. It made me sign in to EA. I hate games that make me do that, too, especially if I have zero interest in multiplayer. So I signed in. And then the screen was super zoomed in, and unusable, and I couldn't get it to work. Had to look up online where to find the settings files and force it to full-screen mode. But when I launched it again, it made me sign into EA again, despite previously telling it to remember this machine. Anywho, finally got in, went to options, only to find it hadn't kept the settings I'd set in the options, and would not let me change the resolution no matter what I tried. Okay, whatever, I'll play it on the lower resolution it was set to. Did a quick practice game to get the controls down. Fun! Now that I remember what buttons on my joystick did what, I quit out and launched into VR. It won't work on VR. Why? Because EA's sign-in screen popped up! But my Quest 3 controls, the joystick, and the keyboard and mouse wouldn't work on the interface, I was unable to actually sign in! So I literally just cannot play in VR anymore, after all of this frustrating experience. So congrats, EA, you've successfully ensh**ified your game and made it unplayable in VR. I'm so glad EA lost its exclusive rights to making Star Wars games. I avoid this company's games like the plague, more now than ever before.
• Not recommended Posted June 29, 2025 on Steam Abandon-Ware as of 6/29/2025 You have to do a RegEdit just to get the game to launch past the splash screen launcher. It's been a known issue since 2024.
