Star Wars fans have reason to celebrate as two beloved titles are making significant moves to PC. The popular mobile game "Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes" has launched a dedicated PC version, while the classic 1997 first-person shooter "Lucasfilm's Outlaws" is set to receive a comprehensive remaster.

Key Takeaways

• Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes" is now playable on PC via the EA App, offering a seamless experience for existing players.

• "Lucasfilm's Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster" is coming to PC and consoles later in 2025, bringing the Western FPS classic to modern platforms.

Galaxy of Heroes Lands on PC

"Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes," a free-to-play mobile title from EA that has been available since 2015, has officially expanded its reach to PC through the EA App. This new version allows players to link their existing mobile accounts, providing a smooth transition. While initial loading times for previously accessed content might be a bit lengthy for returning players, the PC port boasts a visually enhanced experience with cleaner character models and a UI optimized for larger screens. All content available on the mobile version, including recent additions like the Battle of Naboo raid, is present in the PC release. This move is particularly beneficial for streamers, simplifying the process of broadcasting the game, and offers players the flexibility to complete daily tasks on their computer when convenient.

Outlaws Rides Again with a Remaster

Nightdive Studios, known for its work in revitalizing classic games, has partnered with Lucasfilm Games to bring "Lucasfilm's Outlaws" back to life. The "Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster" will faithfully modernize the 1997 Western first-person shooter, complete with its 1998 expansion. This remaster promises enhanced visuals, supporting up to 4K resolution at 120FPS, alongside upgraded gameplay features, high-resolution textures, and redrawn art. For the first time, "Outlaws" will be available on consoles, including PlayStation and Xbox, as well as Nintendo Switch, in addition to Windows PC. The remaster will also feature crossplay multiplayer with four distinct game modes. Players can expect a host of modernizations, including gamepad support with a new weapon wheel and rumble features, as well as trophies and achievements. The game's compelling narrative, inspired by classic Westerns, follows ex-Marshall James Anderson seeking revenge. "Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster" is slated for release in Q4 2025.
