Star Wars fans warned they've less than 24 hours to grab free game

When we say this one is going fast, we mean it– because you’ll have a lot less than 24 hours left to claim this Star Wars freebie by the time you read this article.

So let’s not beat around the bush. I’m gonna hit you with some quickfire info so you don’t miss out on this one.

The game in question is Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition. It’s the 2017 Electronic Arts published, DICE developed Star Wars Battlefront II, not the 2005 LucasArts published, Pandemic Studios developed Star Wars: Battlefront II version.

Where can you get it? Only on Xbox, unfortunately. Apologies in advance to all my PlayStation and Nintendo buddies (not gonna apologise to the Steam folks, because you lot get a new free game every three minutes).

How do you get it? That’s easy, you’ve got two options.

Firstly, you can be an EA Play subscriber. If you are, just saunter over to the game through the Xbox storefront and hit claim. Boom, enjoy your free game.

The second option is somewhat similiar, in that you need to be an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes with an EA Play subscription, so in a sense this is just the first option again except… better.

Now here comes the best bit. Even though you need an EA Play subscription to claim Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition, you don’t actually need to retain said subscription to access the game forever.

Even if your EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription runs out, the game is still yours forever. Very unlike EA to be so charitable but hey, I guess it is Christmas.

By the time this article goes out, I’d wager you have roughly ten hours to actually claim the game so… why are you still reading this?
