WhenAspyr Mediaannounced the launch ofStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionset forMarch 14, 2024, everyone was thrilled. The good old days were back. But the excitement was short-lived!
As it turns out,Star Wars: BCCis plagued with issues, and within hours of launch, thousands have called the game simply unplayable. Reports indicate that only three64-playerofficial servers were available in the opening hours when close to10,000users were logged in.
Other issues reported in the early hours include high ping, stuttering, visual glitches, network errors, crashes, matchmaking issues, and servers not appearing on the browser.
EitherAspyr Mediadidn’t anticipate this kind of response or couldn’t effectively handle the situation. Whatever the case,Star Wars: BCCwill go down as the worst launch of the year. Besides, theirofficial statementregarding the fiasco is vague and doesn’t provide a definite timeline for improvement.
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection hit with negative ratings on Steam and Xbox
In the first 24 hours,Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionhad extremely poor player ratings on Xbox and Steam.
On theSteam Store, the game had an81%negative rating from4057reviews. On theXbox Store, it scored2.3/5from a total of990reviews.
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionsurprisingly fared well on thePlayStation Storea few hours after launch, with a3.44/5rating. Initially, it was even higher!
The game’s high price tag was also questioned after its debacle at launch. Here’s what players had to say:
More negative reviews kept pouring in by the minute at the time of writing.
Star Wars: BCC takes up more than 60GB of storage, many raise questions
The originalStar Wars: Battlefrontand its sequel consumed7.3 GBs, butStar Wars: BCC, which brings some additional features and content, takes up a whopping57-72 GBsof storage. There’s no explanation available for now!
The exact storage space depends on the system. It’s about63 GBson Steam for PC,72.58 GBson Steam Deck, and57 GBson Xbox.
What strikes players is thatStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectiondoesn’t feature such high-end graphics, feature sets, or content that could justify the storage requirements.
