The Highly Anticipated Star Wars Battlefront Beta Begins Today, and You Can Play It!


Star Wars fans have been waiting for the day Star Wars Battlefront hits shelves, but for those who can't wait for a month-and-a-half, we've got good news for you: you can start playing the free beta today!

And unlike some locked-down, invite-only betas, the Star Wars Battlefront beta is open for anyone to play, as long as you have roughly 11GB of free space on your hard drive and meet the game's fairly lenient PC requirements. If you meet those criteria, all you have to do is boot up EA's Origin service and start downloading the beta.

The beta is limited to a trio of modes set, each locked to a different location. The best mode here is Drop Zone on the rocky planet of Sullust, a fast-paced 16-player game that has Rebel and Imperial teams racing to claim and defend dropped escape pods. You can watch the 20-minute gameplay footage here.

There's also co-op Survival mode, which is basically the now-familiar Horde mode, and it's set in Tatooine. Finally, Walker Assault lets you experience the classic Empire Strikes Back Hoth assault, complete with vehicles, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

Star Wars Battlefront will be released on November 17 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
