If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to jump into the cockpit of an X-Wing or lead a legion of Clone Troopers into battle, your patience has finally been rewarded. As part of the Steam Winter Sale 2025, the legendary shooter Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition has seen a massive price crash, currently sitting at a staggering 90% discount.
For less than the price of a coffee—specifically $3.99—players can grab what is arguably the most complete Star Wars combat experience ever created.
The Ultimate “Comeback” Story
It is no secret that Battlefront II had a rocky start back in 2017. However, the game available on Steam today is a completely different beast. Years of free content updates and a total overhaul of the progression system transformed it into a fan favorite.
By the time the “Celebration Edition” was released, the game had been packed with content from every era of the Star Wars timeline:
- The Prequels: Fight as General Grievous or Obi-Wan Kenobi on the rainy platforms of Kamino.
- The Original Trilogy: Lead the rebellion on the forest moon of Endor.
- The Sequels: Engage in frantic skirmishes on the desert world of Jakku or the salt flats of Crait.
The “Celebration Edition” specifically includes the base game and every piece of customization content released up until the final update—meaning you get over 125 Trooper skins, 25 Hero appearances (including Rey and Kylo Ren from The Rise of Skywalker), and hundreds of emotes right from the start.
Frantic Multiplayer Action
At its core, Battlefront II is about scale. The flagship Galactic Assault mode features 40-player battles that combine ground combat, vehicular warfare, and aerial dogfights. One moment you’re a standard infantryman holding a choke point; the next, you’ve earned enough battle points to spawn as Darth Vader, clearing entire hallways with a sweep of your lightsaber.
For those who prefer a more tactical experience, Capital Supremacy offers a non-linear tug-of-war across massive maps, culminating in an assault on a capital ship’s interior. If you’re a pilot at heart, the Starfighter Assault mode remains one of the best-looking and most immersive space-combat simulators in the franchise’s history.

Not Just for Multiplayer Fans
While the “frantic multiplayer” is the main draw, the 90% off deal also grants you access to the full single-player campaign. You play as Iden Versio, commander of the Imperial special forces unit Inferno Squad, in a story that bridges the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. It’s a cinematic, “canon” journey that explores the fall of the Empire from the perspective of those who believed in it.
Why Buy It Now?
Despite official support ending in 2020, the Battlefront II community is surprisingly resilient. In mid-2025, player counts on Steam peaked at over 35,000 active users, fueled by the popularity of Star Wars streaming series and frequent deep-cut sales. With this latest 90% discount, the servers are expected to be flooded with new “shinies” (rookie clones), ensuring that matchmaking times are nearly instantaneous.
Visual-wise, the Frostbite engine still holds up beautifully in late 2025. On a high-end PC, the photorealistic environments of Hoth and Naboo look just as good as many titles released this year.
Don’t Wait—The Offer Ends Soon
The Steam Winter Sale is notoriously fleeting. This 90% discount on Star Wars Battlefront II is scheduled to end on January 5, 2026. If you want to experience the thrill of a thermal detonator exploding in a crowded corridor or the hum of a lightsaber in your hand, there has never been a cheaper way to join the fight.
