About STAR WARS™: Squadrons

STAR WARS™: Squadrons poster

STAR WARS: Squadrons is a focused starfighter combat game that puts the emphasis on authentic piloting, blending action and simulation for the PC. You buckle into the cockpit and feel the adrenaline of first-person, multiplayer space dogfights alongside your squadron, flying craft from both the New Republic and Imperial fleets in strategic 5v5 battles where teamwork and coordination decide who walks away.

The cockpit is treated as home. With only a thin hull of metal and glass between you and the perils of space, you use its dashboards to your advantage, dividing power between weapons, shields, and engines as the intensity of combat plays out from a first-person view. You can modify your starfighter and adjust your squadron's composition to suit different playstyles, take control of classics like the X-wing and TIE fighter, and customize both loadouts and cosmetics to your liking.

Beyond the multiplayer modes, Squadrons features a unique single-player Star Wars story that unfolds after the events of Return of the Jedi. Told from alternating perspectives across two factions, it follows iconic and emerging leaders on both sides as the conflict rages on. Battles sweep across known and never-before-seen locations, including the gas giant of Yavin Prime and the shattered moon of Galitan, letting you triumph as a team while completing tactical objectives and living out your Star Wars pilot fantasy.
