Star Wars: Squadrons may not be perfect, but to me, it was the closest to the real thing. It’s probably the most fun I’ve had since my childhood. Let’s be honest, Star Wars games this generation have been a hit or miss, however in the case of Squadrons, there is no doubt that it is an incredible game. I’ve been playing Star Wars Squadrons soon after it launched and I have to say, it made my life-long dream come true.

While Star Wars: Squadron is not the first game to flirt with the space-opera lore, it is the first game that comes close to replicating that feeling. Ever since I saw the X-Wings in the first Star Wars movie, I always imagined flying one by myself. The first role-playing game I ever fell in love with was Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic and the first science fiction book that got me into reading was the Thrawn Trilogy. If it weren’t for George Lucas’ creation, I probably wouldn’t have this job right now and would be doing a normal desk job just like everyone else. I’m flying mostly solo on this one and will pin chat inside my cockpit to keep an eye on things.Let’s just say Star Wars is the whole reason why I love science-fiction, video games and comic books. We’ll be hitting just our YouTubeand I’ll be streaming from an Oculus Quest via Link using a T.16000M flight stick.

Our Star Wars: Squadrons livestream is planned to start at about 10:30 AM PT today and will last for around an hour or two so, give or take. Speaking of, now that the game’s out, we can dive in for some multiplayer right now! We may be joined by some other Upload staff on the stream as well. We’ll update it with a finalized score once we finish the story and spend time with the multiplayer modes this weekend. In case you missed it yesterday, our review-in-progress published for Star Wars: Squadrons, including impressions on the story mode, gameplay, and VR support. For today’s livestream we’re playing multiplayer in Star Wars: Squadrons, a AAA immersive space combat game from EA Motive! If you’re curious about how we livestream the way we do then look no further than this handy guide for general tips and this guide specific to our Oculus Quest setup.
