Steam gamers can currently pick up 2017's Star Wars Battlefront 2 for just $3.99 for a limited time. This discount marks a historically low price for Star Wars Battlefront 2 on Steam, coming in at a steep 90% drop from its usual $39.99 price tag.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 received a mixed reception upon its 2017 launch, with much of the criticism focused on its loot box monetization strategy. Fast-forward eight years, and the game is in a much better place, with demand increasing for a third game in the series. Just recently, some Star Wars Battlefront 2 devs confirmed they'd like to return to complete the trilogy. It's cool to see the perception of the game change - while DICE left it behind years ago, post-launch updates meant it was a much better experience than it was on launch.
The Unwritten Rules of Star Wars Battlefront 2 Explained
EA's Star Wars Battlefront 2 is in the midst of a resurgence, and both new and returning players might want a refresher on some unwritten rules.
Right now, gamers on Steam can grab DICE's Star Wars Battlefront 2 for just $3.99, a massive 90% discount on its full price. It has only ever been this cheap once before, back in December 2024, so it's not as though this sort of discount comes around all too often. Gamers who want to pick up one of the best Star Wars games ever at a bargain price need to act fast, as this deal is only available until June 26.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is 90% Off on Steam Until June 26
The price reduction comes at a perfect time - Star Wars Battlefront 2 is constantly breaking player count records on Steam at the moment. At the time of writing, the all-time peak is 28,002, although given current trends, it's possible that this will be broken again in the near future, with SteamDB having the game at 15th in Steam's top sellers list right now. This means that players will never struggle to find a game, even in playlists that were largely empty prior to its recent resurgence. There's no better opportunity to jump in and enjoy the chaos of Star Wars Battlefront 2 in all its glory.
Despite the recent popularity of the game, Star Wars Battlefront 3 probably isn't happening. Both EA and DICE's focus seems to be elsewhere at the moment, and it has been eight years since the release of the last game in the series. That's not to say the Star Wars Battlefront series won't make a return someday - it remains one of the franchise's most popular subseries. However, gamers shouldn't hold their breath for it to happen any time soon.
