Gamespot has cumulated all the early reviews available for the game by people who got to play the game before the launch. The game is shorter than last year's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order which has left a sour taste for some reviewers, however, there have been no complaints about the gameplay and the mechanics implemented in the game as players will be spending the majority of their time flying an X-Wing starfighter.

The game is predominantly a simulator for the starfighter pilots, the jets which have been a staple in the Star Wars franchise. However, the single-player aspect of the game has caused some issues for Game Informer who dropped an 8.3 rating for the game. The review states that the single-player version of the game can be notorious as players can easily malfunction the hyperdrive in the X-Wing while going in hyperdrive.

However, the multiplayer version of the same has been lauded in the early reviews, as Star Wars fans lining up in their own X-Wing Starfighters itself has a novelty factor which has been implemented with the nostalgia of watching Luke Skywalker flying one of the similar Spacefighters in the original film.

Star Wars Squadrons is now out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
