Epic Games Store: Huge Interest in the New Free Game

Another PC game has been available for free via the Epic Games Store since last Thursday: The download platform is currently giving away the full version of Star Wars Battlefront 2 in the Celebration Edition. The rush for the free Star Wars shooter seems to have been so huge that the servers were temporarily down or only accessible to a limited extent. Players reported the error codes 623, 721 and 918. Sometimes neither game access nor logins were possible, the server capacities reached their limits.

Shortly after the release, Electronic Arts announced via the short message service Twitter that it wanted to increase the server capacities for Star Wars Battlefront 2. At the weekend, the publisher added that he had fixed the problems. Since then it should be possible to re-establish most of the connections. Occasionally, login difficulties and server timeouts still seem to occur – for example when playing co-op games with friends. How many new and returning players Star Wars Battlefront 2 recently welcomed is unknown.
