The game is also Crossplay compatible now, meaning that servers are platform agnostic. Multiplayer matches can once again support up to 64 players simultaneously. However, thanks to the efforts of teams at both Steam and GOG, multiplayer servers for the game have been restored by Disney, who now owns the rights to the Star Wars franchise.

However, when Gamespy’s multiplayer servers were permanently shut down in 2014, Battlefront 2’s multiplayer went with them. The role-based, team-focused frenetic shooter set in the Star Wars universe was an online multiplayer staple from its introduction in 2005. The PC version of the 2005 classic just had its multiplayer servers reinstated. With anticipation high for next month’s release of Star Wars Battlefront II, fans chomping at the bit for some Rebel-on-Empire action can now get their fix with the older Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
