Star Wars: The Old Republic Comes to Steam

EA and Bioware have today released Star Wars: The Old Republic on the platform.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Comes to Steam

The MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic has now been released on Steam, launching with both crossplay and cross-save features. The Old Republic was originally released in 2011 on PC on EA’s own launcher. So if you are already playing on Origin, you can now play using Steam.

Along with the game joining the Steam library, it also brings with it Star Wars: The Old Republic trading cards, emoticons and backgrounds from the game as well. The title will also be getting over 100 achievements for Steam as well, but won’t be arriving until towards the end of 2020. But you can start unlocking those achievements which will count retroactively.

SWTOR follows your own tale in a galaxy far, far away but over three thousand years before the classic movies. Choose to play as a Jedi, a Sith, Bounty Hunter or as one of the iconic 8 roles from the series. There are also 5 narrative expansions, with plenty of adventures to be had.

The game is free-to-play but there is an optional subscription available on Steam which includes a level cap increase to Onslaught, Knights of the Eternal Throne and Knights of the Fallen Empire expansions, plus unlimited access to a number of game modes for $15 a month.

There are also three cosmetic bundles now available to purchase as well which includes both Jedi and Sith costumes for $25 each, plus the Galactic Leisure Bundle that includes holographic Rancor toy, Vulptilla pup pet and Dejarik which is the chess-like hologram game from the Star Wars series.

You will still need the external SWTOR client in order to run the game, but now you will have the option to manage your subscription and installation process via Steam. Last month EA added a number of titles to the Steam library including Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dragon Age II.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is now available on Steam.
