Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection update fixes majority of bugs
The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection had about as good a start as the Tantive IV’s crew at the beginning of A New Hope, so things could only get better from there – well, so everybody thought. However, serious allegations by a modder have since then been raised, claiming that developer Aspyr used their work for the Classic Collection without permission or giving credit, which didn’t exactly help win over the public in the aftermath of the turbulent launch.
So things could only get better from there, right? Well, kind of. Here’s the good news: Update 1 for the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is now available for PC and is currently being vetted by Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo for release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. This patch is quite substantial, as it managed to address a majority of bugs the community has been complaining about since launch.
Battlefront 2 added space battles to the series' repertoire back in the day.

Which is making people somewhat suspicious. It’s not even been a full week since release and the developer already has such a complete update ready to go? Giving Aspyr the benefit of the doubt, the developer did some amazing work in the last couple of days. Looking at it from a more cynical point of view, though, one might think that Aspyr had already known about most of these bugs ahead of release and pushed the game out of the door anyways – in which case this patch is simply bringing the game up to the standard it should’ve had at launch.
In any case, players should find the game to be in a much better state than before the update. Aspyr stated it would shift to working on another set of fixes as well as pushing server-side updates to improve the experience in online multiplayer.
