After a troubled launch, Aspyr has now released its first major update for Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection on Nintendo Switch.
This update features “heavy changes” to the game’s multiplayer and dedicated servers, which will apparently provide a “much better experience” across all platforms. Aspyr also mentioned in this announcement that its work “continues” on the second major update, with more information to share when it’s ready.
In the same post, he asks players to continue reporting bugs, errors, and unexpected behaviors via the support form.
