  One of the most beloved Star Wars franchise is finally back with a few quality of life improvements. The collection package features all maps from the original games as well as online multiplayer support. That is, if you're lucky enough to join any of the 3 available servers...

  At launch, the server count was not enough for the entire player base. The game peaked at around 9,000 concurrent players in the first 24 hours, which was significantly more than what the developers were expecting. With a server capacity of around 200 players, players struggled to join matches, and when they did, the servers or the game itself would crash.

  Developers have increased the server count, but the game is still not fixed, as server instability remains a frequent issue within matches. To top it all, the game features an install size of around 60GB, which is massive for a collection of games that were released around 20 years ago. Suffice it to say, the game launch was a total flop, with around 19% positive reviews, and the 'Overwhelmingly Negative' label taints the release of a game that many gamers grew up playing.
