Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection's First Patch Revives After Rocky Release

The classic "Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection" has received its first significant patch from the developer, Aspyr, after a rough start marked by negative Steam reviews due to multiple issues affecting gameplay. The update, which is already available on Steam and pending release for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, addresses a long-standing bug in "Battlefront 2" from 2005 and makes a slew of improvements across multiplayer, controls, visuals, audio and other bug fixes, with promises of more updates to come. Aspyr also noted ongoing server-side adjustments to refine the online experience. Notably, adjustments made to Hero Assault mode suggest the patch addresses new issues and is not associated with a high-profile mod previously discussed, as confirmed by the mod’s creator iamashaymin.

The new patch includes modifications to multiplayer aspects, control schemes, visual enhancements, audio fixes, and an array of other bug fixes that improve game stability and performance.
