Star Wars Battlefront II is one of the most infamous games of all time but also became one of the best live service games available. Despite support ending for the title EA and Epics Games teamed up to provide free copies to everyone through the Epic Games Store, which was claimed by more than 19 million players.

This has sparked a massive increase in players during this period. The title is no longer free but given the game includes microtransactions you can guarantee EA will see a return in investment for giving it away.
