Star Wars Battlefront 2’s Hacker Crisis: Players Demand Action!

Summary

  • Star Wars Battlefront 2 players on PC aren’t happy due to hackers affecting gameplay in the Galactic Assault multiplayer mode.
  • Some players suggest switching to Supremacy mode to avoid hackers targeting Galactic Assault on PC.
  • The Star Wars Battlefront 2 community is frustrated and hopes EA steps in to stop the hackers.

After a surge in active players, it appears that the PC version of Star Wars Battlefront 2 is currently grappling with a significant cybersecurity issue, as numerous unscrupulous individuals are causing disruption in some of the game’s most popular modes. The influx of fans returning to Star Wars Battlefront 2 can be attributed to the recent May the 4th festivities and the highly acclaimed finale of Andor, which has been one of Disney Plus’s standout shows so far.

In 2017, despite being embroiled in significant gaming controversies, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has become a cherished game, its extensive content and features outshining the debate over microtransactions. Five years later, in May 2025, fans flocked back to Star Wars Battlefront 2 for another Star Wars fix following the conclusion of Andor and the re-release of Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith in theaters. This renewed interest pushed Star Wars Battlefront 2 to achieve its highest number of concurrent players on Steam since early 2021, sparking discussions among Star Wars enthusiasts, including Andor actor Muhannad Ben Amor, about a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3. However, the game’s comeback has had its challenges due to an increase in hacker activity as well.

It seems that kamikazee76 isn’t alone, as numerous other players have also experienced hackers in Galactic Assault matches on PC. The “Star Wars Battlefront 2” community is growing increasingly frustrated, and some players in the Reddit thread are expressing hope for EA to address the issue of hackers, despite the slim chances of an update.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Players are Frustrated About Hackers in Galactic Assault

In the Star Wars Battlefront 2 community, some gamers recommend opting for the Supremacy mode as hackers seem to be disrupting Galactic Assault, which is popular among PC players. Conversely, other gamers contend that Galactic Assault is ideal for new and returning players because it provides the most comprehensive content in a playlist and doesn’t restrict maps, heroes, or villains to specific Star Wars timelines. The hacking issue does not appear to impact Star Wars Battlefront 2 on consoles, but users require a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass subscription to participate in online gameplay.

In essence, the rekindled popularity of Star Wars Battlefront 2 might just prompt EA to pay heed to player demands and potentially bring about the creation of Star Wars Battlefront 3, even with the PC version’s hacking troubles. For now, word-of-mouth recommendations could sustain a vibrant and active player community for Star Wars Battlefront 2 over several months as fans eagerly anticipate the release of The Mandalorian & Grogu film in 2026.
