Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection seemed like an easy win for developer Aspyr Media when it launched earlier this week. Featuring two all-time classic Star Wars games from the early 2000s, the PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch collection felt like a guaranteed hit, provided the servers were up and bugs were kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, however, the launch of Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection didn't quite go to plan. Releasing to mostly negative reviews on Steam, fans complained of a lack of…

A modder whose work was reportedly used in Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection without their permission has panned the release of the game, calling it “a total mess”.

It took three years for the species to do so, and when it did, it was rather different…

Aspyr Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection should have been a slam dunk. The new package contains some of the best Star Wars video games ever made, which are all now widely available with multiplayer support across all modern platforms.
