Overview
- Ubisoft and Behaviour released the game on June 30 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, GeForce NOW, and PC via Steam, Epic and the Ubisoft Store.
- The title replaces winning by bankruptcy with Influence Points, adds 2v2 and 3v3 modes, a new Battle System, and dynamic GO Events that can swing matches through dice-based minigames.
- Reviewers and players praised the stylized visuals and a 28-character roster that reunites Luke, Han and Leia in a non-canonical setting but flagged that the presentation does not hide design flaws.
- Coverage documented specific problems that unbalance play, notably Chewbacca’s forward-zip ability and GO Event reliance that let teams loop the board and rack up Influence Points quickly.
- Early impressions also note some AI bugs in local matches and recommend temporary house rules or bans until developers issue balance updates, and the release renews interest in original-trilogy portrayals in Star Wars games.
