There are plenty of fantastic Star Wars games on PC, and now one of the best in recent years is free on Steam. Space sim Star Wars: Squadrons is indeed free-to-play as of now - but you better be quick, because it's only for the next 48 hours.
Star Wars: Squadrons released in 2020 and was immediately lauded for being a fresh and enjoyable update of classic Star Wars sims like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and - erm - X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. Given that it's also one of the only triple-A Star Wars games to be released by EA - and that a sequel probably isn't coming anytime soon - it's good that Squadrons exists.
Now anyone who doesn't own Star Wars: Squadrons - and didn't pick it up as part of an Amazon Prime Gaming deal in October - can now try the latest Star Wars space sim entirely for free on Steam (thanks VG247), although only for the next two days.
