In 2025, PC gamers will get their hands on Star Wars: Hunters, a game that promises improved visuals and features tailored for the platform. Before it officially launches in late January, players can jump into two PC playtests scheduled for December 2024 and January 2025.
Originally launched on mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch, Star Wars: Hunters is set to make its PC debut early next year. Announced back in 2021, the game took some time to hit the market. It’s a free-to-play hero shooter, spicing up the traditional formula with elements from the iconic Star Wars universe. While its reception was mixed, indicated by an average score of 60 on OpenCritic, Zynga hasn’t been deterred. The developers have continued to release fresh content, ensuring veteran players have something new to look forward to with each season.
The official announcement confirmed that the PC version will arrive with “visually enhanced battlefields.” Comparisons between older versions and the upcoming PC edition reveal notable improvements in lighting effects, making the game maps more vibrant. Players can expect support for keyboard and mouse, as well as wireless control options, with a feature to rebind keys.
Star Wars: Hunters will be holding two PC playtests before the official release. The first one is set for December 13 – 16, 2024, followed by another on January 10 – 13, 2025. Interested players can register for these on the game’s Steam page. The official Early Access is slated for January 27, 2025, and promises to remain free-to-play even after its official release. New PC-focused features and optimizations are also promised with each subsequent season.
Now might be the perfect time to dive into the game on other platforms to get a feel for its mechanics. Recently, the developers unveiled plans for Season 4, which introduces new characters and game modes, running until late January 2025. Although not officially confirmed, it’s likely that the PC release will coincide with the launch of Season 5.
Located on the planet Vespaara in the Outer Rim, Star Wars: Hunters offers players a new experience. As battles unfold on the HoloNet, players can choose Hunters that suit their style. Whether you’re a crafty bounty hunter or a devoted Rebel, mastering unique skills in intense 4v4 combat is key to dominating the arena. With its release just around the corner, gamers have ample reasons to mark their calendars for this galactic adventure.
