10. Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
Available on PlayStation Plus Premium
Ever dreamed of living like a cool and calculating bounty hunter from the Star Wars universe, just like Boba Fett or Jango Fett? This is your chance!
Released in 2002, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter lets you play as Jango Fett and fully experience his skills and weapons. You’ll use everything from his blasters and flamethrower to his jetpack, completing bounties and causing chaos across the galaxy.
The game tells the story of a hunt led by the villainous Count Dooku, revealing how Jango Fett became famous. It plays a lot like the original Max Payne, but instead of a dark, gritty atmosphere, you’ll experience the world through the eyes of a Mandalorian bounty hunter with futuristic technology. While it’s a bit older now, it’s still highly recommended for fans of the bounty hunter legacy, especially those with a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription.
9. Star Wars: Squadrons
Available on Game Pass Ultimate
If you love space combat games with a classic feel and you’re a Star Wars fan, then Star Wars: Squadrons is a great choice.
This space combat game feels a lot like the classic Ace Combat series, skillfully mixing thrilling missions with quieter moments where you connect with your squadron. What sets it apart is its incredibly immersive story, letting you experience the war from the perspectives of both the New Republic and the Empire.
The incredible detail of ships like TIE Interceptors and X-Wings really makes each space battle feel exciting. Plus, the game lets you choose between simple, arcade-style controls or more complex, realistic controls, so both newcomers and experienced players can enjoy it. Casual fans can jump right in, while hardcore players can fine-tune every aspect of their ship.
You’re curious about multiplayer? We’re not discussing that right now. But even without it, the single-player campaign is fantastic and makes this game a must-try for Game Pass subscribers who enjoy flight simulators.
8. Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
Available on PlayStation Plus Premium
When people discuss exciting flight action in the Star Wars universe, games like Rogue Squadron and X-Wing are usually the first mentioned. The Starfighter series, which takes place during the prequel era, often gets overlooked. But now, it’s available on the PS Plus library, giving players a chance to experience its quality.
Jedi Starfighter is a fantastic, often overlooked game from the PlayStation 2 era that deserves more recognition! Instead of being a fast-paced, simple shooter like many games at the time, it’s a realistic flight simulator with detailed controls and strategic gameplay, making you really feel like a pilot.
It’s challenging to learn, but incredibly satisfying once you get the hang of it. Considering this game is over three generations old, it’s amazing how modern and fun it still is.
7. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Available on PlayStation Plus Premium
I grew up playing a lot of PlayStation 2 games, and honestly, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is one I always come back to. It was a really action-packed game, but it didn’t get as much attention back then as some other titles – which is a shame, because it’s a total blast!
While not flawless, this game excels at fleshing out Anakin Skywalker’s story between the films. The campaign is a bit short for a universe this detailed, lasting around four hours, but the game still manages to impress. Plus, the graphics are remarkably good for its age, particularly the environments and the character designs.
Honestly, this game has one of the most fun co-op modes I’ve ever played – you and your friends just team up and fight off endless waves of enemies. It’s seriously addictive! If you’re looking for something quick to jump into on PS Plus and get that nostalgic feeling, I definitely recommend giving this a shot.
6. LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Available on PlayStation Plus Premium
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is a true classic. It really established the LEGO video game style we enjoy today and is a wonderfully fun game for Star Wars fans – even those who don’t usually play video games!
This game closely follows and retells the story of the original Star Wars trilogy – A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi – and it does so very well. It seems simple at first, but it’s full of personality, cleverly designed levels, and a lot of funny moments.
This game truly captures the fun and wonder of the Star Wars films, often better than more complex games. It’s a delightfully quirky and enjoyable experience that’s hard not to love. If you’re skeptical, give it a try on PS Plus Premium – grab some popcorn, invite a friend, and prepare to be impressed!
5. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Available on Game Pass Ultimate
Finally, it’s time to build with LEGOs again! LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is now available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and you won’t want to miss out.
Even though some longtime fans might miss the feel of the original LEGO Star Wars II game, this new version is a fresh take on the entire saga. It lets you experience all nine Star Wars movies with a massive and diverse cast of characters.
While the story moves quickly, trying to fit a lot into one game, the open-world areas are fantastic. They’re packed with puzzles and hidden details that really bring each movie location to life. Overall, it’s a fun and cheerful celebration of the entire series that will keep you entertained from beginning to end.
4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Available on Game Pass Ultimate
Combining challenging combat inspired by games like Dark Souls with the exploration of Metroidvanias and the cinematic action of Uncharted, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order demonstrated that the Star Wars universe can succeed in many different types of games. It also gave us one of the most compelling characters in the entire Star Wars story.
Cal Kestis is a Jedi Padawan who went into hiding after the devastating Order 66. Now without a rank and living in isolation, he’s working to reconnect with the Force and revive the Jedi Order, all while carefully concealing his identity from those who would hunt him.
This game is all about developing both its story and how it plays, and it truly captures the spirit of Star Wars, delivering a powerful emotional experience. If you haven’t played it yet – or want to experience Cal’s adventure again – Game Pass Ultimate is a great way to jump in.
3. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Available on Game Pass Ultimate
While Fallen Order got things started, Survivor truly explodes with content. Luckily, with Game Pass Ultimate, you get both games, letting you continue the adventure seamlessly.

As a fan of the first game, I was blown away by the sequel! It takes everything I loved and just makes it more. What really grabbed me, though, was seeing how much Cal has grown. He’s not a clumsy Padawan anymore – he’s a real survivor, and it shows in how he fights. The new combat styles are amazing, and honestly, using the Force feels incredible. It’s so much more powerful and fun, and it really makes you feel like you’re on your way to becoming a true Jedi Master!
The game features vast, interconnected worlds with incredibly detailed customization options – and yes, you can even get a mullet! The story is a more grown-up and emotional one, focusing on the sacrifices made during a hopeless war and the search for belonging when everything is falling apart. It’s easily one of the best Star Wars stories we’ve seen in years, in any format.
2. Star Wars Outlaws
Available on Game Pass Ultimate
Instead of focusing on Jedi, like many Star Wars stories do (and while we enjoy those!), Star Wars Outlaws offers something new: the thrilling life of a scoundrel, similar to Han Solo. You play as Kay Vess, a clever thief on the hunt for a huge score.
This game lets you explore a huge, beautiful open world filled with secrets, challenging missions, and exciting spaceship battles. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to make deals (or get scammed!) in bustling cantinas. While you’ll often need to use quick travel to get around, it gives you a rare amount of freedom to explore the galaxy’s criminal side and build a reputation with different gangs.
The game boasts a stunning, retro-futuristic style that makes each planet feel realistically worn and populated. Ultimately, it’s a down-to-earth, heist-driven adventure showing you can have an epic experience in this universe without needing a laser sword, and it’s included with Game Pass Ultimate.
1. Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition
Available on Game Pass Ultimate
Look, I was pretty worried about the newer Battlefront games at first, especially after the initial launch problems. But honestly, Battlefront II has really turned things around! It’s become a genuinely amazing experience for a Star Wars fan like me. They’ve fixed a lot, added tons of content, and it really feels like Star Wars now. It’s a fantastic game!
Honestly, the single-player campaign is the best part for me. It’s so cool to see the fall of the Empire from the perspective of Iden Versio, a brand new character who’s a really skilled Imperial officer. It feels fresh and really adds something new to the Star Wars story. And the multiplayer? Still a blast! I love being able to play as all the classic characters – Chewbacca, Luke, Boba Fett, even Darth Vader! It’s just pure, chaotic fun.
The version of the game included with Game Pass Ultimate is the Celebration Edition, and it has everything – every cosmetic item ever released! If you’ve been waiting to play, now’s a great time to jump in and see why it’s considered one of the most captivating ways to experience epic space battles.
