May 23, 2026 - 00:54

The Force is strong with the gaming calendar this year. With upcoming titles like Zero Company, Galactic Racer, and Fate of the Old Republic generating serious buzz, there has never been a better time to revisit the classics. Whether you are a Jedi Knight or a scoundrel at heart, these ten games offer the best Star Wars experiences you can play right now.

Starting with the heavy hitters, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and its sequel Jedi: Survivor remain the gold standard for single-player action. They blend tight lightsaber combat with a compelling story about Cal Kestis, a Padawan on the run. For those who prefer a darker path, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still the definitive RPG. Its deep narrative and moral choices let you fall to the dark side in a way few games have matched since.

On the strategy front, Star Wars: Empire at War gives you control of the Galactic Civil War from a bird's eye view. It is a cult classic for a reason. For shooter fans, Star Wars: Battlefront II (the 2017 version) has been redeemed through years of updates, offering massive battles and a solid single-player campaign. The original Battlefront II from 2005 is also worth a look for its pure arcade chaos.

If you want something more niche, Star Wars: Squadrons delivers a hardcore cockpit experience that makes you feel like a real X-wing pilot. For puzzle and exploration fans, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a massive, hilarious retelling of all nine films. Finally, do not overlook Star Wars: The Old Republic. This MMO is still running strong with years of story content that rivals any single-player RPG.

These ten games are easy to jump into today, and they will keep you busy until the new wave of titles lands.
