Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection: Release date, platforms, games, and more

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection will update two beloved classics and put them together in a nice package filled with quality-of-life updates for franchise fans. 

The first two Battlefront games were released in back-to-back years, starting in September 2004, with the sequel launching in October 2005. For many, Battlefront II was the definitive experience, as it added multiple playable characters absent from the first one, such as Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Han Solo.

10 years later, EA attempted to relaunch the franchise with a Battlefront reboot that was torn by fans, as it focused exclusively on PvP content, lacking some key components that made the original so beloved, like a standalone single-player campaign. 

So, if you're waiting for the Battlefront Classic Collection but are wondering what's coming alongside the remasters, then we got you covered with this guide. 

Battlefront Classic Collection release date and platforms

The Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is releasing on March 14. Players on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam will be able to get their hands on the remaster.

Cost

If you are interested in getting the game, you'll be happy to hear that it won't be a full $70. Battlefront Classic Collection will retail for $35, so it's definitely a more reasonable price.
