EA has announced that the Star Wars: Battlefront beta was the biggest ever single player beta in its history. The games publishing firm was over the moon with the popularity of the game with the associated testing of its game code and supporting infrastructure. Star Wars: Battlefront was first revealed to gamers back in April and it is due for release in mid-November.
A huge number of PC gamers enjoyed the beta for durations of many hours, and provided EA and DICE with "invaluable feedback". The beta test, with the data and feedback collected, will be used to "tune and balance the game until launch", says EA. For those that enjoyed the beta play, EA promised much more in the full and finished game including multiplayer modes and more mission types.
Previously HEXUS has covered the announcement of the PC system requirements for Star Wars: Battlefront and the news that there would be no microtransactions grafted into the game structure. However EA still has ambitious plans to empty your wallet…
