A free weekend for
STAR WARS: Squadrons is now underway
on
Steam, offering the chance to strap into a starfighter for some Star Wars
space combat. Just beware it may not be as easy as bullseyeing womp rats in your
T-16 back home. Here's word on the game:
Master the art of starfighter
combat in the authentic piloting experience STAR WARS™: Squadrons. Buckle up and
feel the adrenaline of first-person, multiplayer space dogfights alongside your
squadron. Pilots who enlist will step into the cockpits of starfighters from
both the New Republic and Imperial fleets and fight in strategic 5v5 space
battles. Modify your starfighter, and adjust the composition of your squadron to
suit varying playstyles and crush the opposition. Pilots will triumph as a team
and complete tactical objectives across known and never-before-seen
battlefields, including the gas giant of Yavin Prime and the shattered moon of
Galitan. Take control of starfighters such as the X-wing and TIE fighter.
Customize loadouts and cosmetics. Divert power between weapons, shields, and
engines while immersing yourself in the cockpit. In addition, players will have
the option to play the entirety of the game in virtual reality (VR)!
