One of the best Star Wars games of recent years is free on PC for a limited time, but you’ll have to act fast.
There have been dozens of great Star Wars video games over the years, and the Lego spins on a galaxy far, far away are amongst the best.
The pinnacle of these is Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which applies the classic Lego game formula to all nine mainline movies, while revamping the combat and allowing players to freely explore a wealth of planets.
If you haven’t yet played this grand celebration of Star Wars, the game is currently free on PC for 24 hours.
To celebrate May 4, aka Star Wars Day, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available for free through the Epic Games Store until Monday, May 5 at 4pm BST in the UK. So if you’re reading this on Tuesday you’re out of luck.
The game is usually priced at £39.99 (although it’s cheaper elsewhere if you buy a physical copy), so it’s a pretty massive saving overall.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is developed by Traveller’s Tales, who made most of the Lego games. The studio is rumoured to be working on another Lego game which could launch in 2026, with all signs pointing towards a Harry Potter title.
If you’re looking to continue the Star Wars celebrations, Fortnite is currently hosting a special Galactic Battle event, where you can fly X-Wings and TIE fighters, or give Emperor Palpatine an assault rifle.
Elsewhere, developer Asypyr has also released Star Wars: Grand Collection on Nintendo Switch, which brings together nine Star Wars games into one bundle.
On Switch, this bundle includes Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Republic Commando, Episode 1 Racer, The Force Unleashed, Bounty Hunter, Jedi Power Battles, Knights Of The Old Republic, and Knights Of The Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. It usually costs a whopping £125.99 altogether, but there’s a 50% off deal until Saturday, May 10, so it’s currently priced at £62.99.
This collection is available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 too but without Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Knights Of The Old Republic, and Knights Of The Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. This is priced at £73.99, but is currently 50% off at £36.99 for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
