If you've ever dreamed of becoming an X-Wing pilot, then you've got great news: Star Wars: Squadrons will be one of the free games of the week on the Epic Games Store starting November 24th. This is a modern take on classic X-Wing and TIE Fighter simulation games from the 90s, but with a modern polish and flare from developer Motive Studios.
Squadrons is one of the best Star Wars games of the last few years, and you can read about why in our Star Wars: Squadrons review. The game features a 14-mission single-player campaign that serves as a prelude and training session for multiplayer. In dog fighting mode, you will compete with another team of five pilots to be the first to score 30 kills. However, a more tactical experience can be had in the Fleet Battles mode, which is a stage-by-stage tug-of-war between two enemy cruisers.
It's incredibly fun, and it looks great - even when you switch the action to VR, which Squadrons supports in both single-player and multiplayer modes. There is excellent attention to detail in the cockpit of each starfighter, and they all look exactly like their on-screen counterparts in the original three Star Wars films.
Since the launch of Squadrons, there have been several content updates, including the addition of the iconic B-wing, as well as new maps.
Head to the Epic Games Store next week to claim your free copy of Star Wars: Squadrons.
