The Best Star Wars Games on PlayStation Plus to Play in 2026
If you want one answer: the best Star Wars game on PlayStation Plus for most new subscribers is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order — a complete, story-driven, roughly 20-hour single-player campaign with no live-service hooks or extra spending. If you came for multiplayer, Star Wars Battlefront II is the pick; if you want a long open-world campaign, Star Wars Outlaws is the one to look for in the catalog. Everything below is ranked by genre, campaign length, and multiplayer support so you can match a title to how you actually play.
One caveat before the picks: PlayStation Plus splits into tiers — Essential (online play plus a small monthly game selection), Extra (a rotating catalog of a few hundred PS4 and PS5 titles), and Premium (adds the Classics catalog). Star Wars titles move between those tiers and in and out of the catalog on a monthly cadence, so confirm your region’s current lineup in the PS Plus section of the PlayStation Store before you buy a year of anything.

Price context: these arrive as part of a subscription rather than as separate purchases. Standalone, catalog-tier Star Wars titles generally retail in the $10–$40 range depending on age — a detail worth remembering when a title leaves the service. PS Plus Extra itself typically sits in the $100–$160 per year band depending on region and tier.
Best overall: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Who it suits: the new subscriber with no backlog who wants one satisfying, finished story. Fallen Order is the cleanest on-ramp in the catalog — it explains its own systems, has difficulty settings that go all the way down to a story-focused mode, and never asks you to buy anything else.
Main trade-off: it is strictly single-player. If your reason for subscribing is playing online with friends, this is the wrong pick. It is also the older of the two Jedi games, so its map and traversal design feel more confined than Survivor’s.
Best multiplayer: Star Wars Battlefront II
Who it suits: anyone who wants Star Wars as a social game. Battlefront II supports large-scale battles up to 40 players, plus smaller modes, and the entire progression system was rebuilt so that star cards, heroes, and weapons are earned through play rather than bought. That matters for a new subscriber: there is no pay-to-win wall waiting at the door.
Main trade-off: the player base is mature and the skill ceiling is high, so your first several matches will be rough. The single-player campaign is short — treat it as a tutorial that happens to have a good story beat, not the reason to install it.
Best long campaign: Star Wars Outlaws
Who it suits: players who measure value in hours and want to wander. Outlaws is the most recent big-budget Star Wars release in the modern catalog and offers an open-world structure with stealth, spaceflight, and reputation systems across multiple syndicates.
Main trade-off: it is a heavier download and a heavier time commitment, and its stealth systems reward patience over aggression — a mismatch if you bounce off slow openings. Because it is a recent title, it is also the most likely of these picks to rotate out of the catalog, so if it is listed, play it sooner rather than later.
Best for short sessions and flight fans: Star Wars Squadrons
Who it suits: anyone who wants cockpit combat and a campaign that fits inside a week. The single-player story runs roughly 8–10 hours and alternates between Imperial and New Republic pilots, and the 5v5 multiplayer is built around two teams of five with class-based ships rather than twitch shooting.
Main trade-off: it is the least forgiving of the picks on a standard controller, and its multiplayer population is the smallest of the group — expect longer queue times outside peak hours.
Best for families: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Who it suits: households with a second player and a couch. It covers all nine saga films, supports drop-in two-player local co-op, and is genuinely playable for younger kids without the difficulty spikes of the Jedi games.
Main trade-off: completion is a marathon — the story is roughly 25–30 hours, but full completion with all collectibles runs past 60. If you like tidy endings, this one does not offer them.
How to choose, using your own numbers
The catalog rotates, so the real decision is not “which is best” but “which is best for the hours I will actually play.” A workable way to decide:
- Estimate your monthly play hours first. If you play 5 hours a week, that is about 20 hours a month. A 20-hour campaign like Fallen Order is a one-month title for you; a 60-hour completion grind like Skywalker Saga is a three-month title.
- Divide the subscription cost by what you finish. At roughly $10–$13 per month for the Extra tier, a 20-hour campaign costs about $0.50–$0.65 per hour of play — cheaper than a single cinema ticket. A title you install, play for two hours, and abandon costs you the full month for almost nothing.
- Weight multiplayer separately. Only Battlefront II and Squadrons have real online populations, and only Skywalker Saga has local co-op. If two people share the console, co-op titles roughly halve your effective cost per person.
- Check storage before you commit. Recent open-world Star Wars titles commonly occupy 50–100 GB installed, and keeping two of them plus system software comfortably fits inside the base 825 GB of a standard PS5 — but not the full catalog. Delete a finished campaign before starting the next.
- Start with the shortest pick that matches your genre. Finishing one game in your first month is the strongest signal that the subscription is worth renewing; a 60-hour open-world as your first install is the most common reason people quit the service.
While three or more of the picks above remain in the catalog, a single month of the Extra tier typically costs less than buying one of these games outright — which is the honest argument for trying the catalog tier before the cheapest one.
What to expect after the first month
Two ownership realities catch new subscribers out. First, catalog titles are licensed, not owned: when a Star Wars game leaves the service, your save file stays but the game does not, so finishing a campaign before a rotation is worth planning around. Second, only the monthly Essential games are yours to keep for as long as you stay subscribed — catalog titles are never added to a permanent library. If a specific Star Wars game matters to you long-term, buying it outright at its standalone price is usually cheaper than maintaining a subscription purely to reach it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on PlayStation Plus?
It has appeared in the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalogs in recent years and is the most consistently accessible Star Wars single-player title on the service. Catalog membership changes monthly, so check the PS Plus section of the PlayStation Store in your region for the current status before subscribing specifically for it.
Which Star Wars game on PlayStation Plus has the best multiplayer?
Star Wars Battlefront II, by a clear margin, thanks to large-scale battles supporting up to 40 players and a progression system where unlocks are earned through play. Star Wars Squadrons is the alternative if you prefer 5v5 cockpit combat over infantry shooting, though its queue times are longer.
Do I need the Premium tier to play Star Wars games on PS Plus?
No. The modern Star Wars titles discussed here sit in the Extra catalog rather than the Classics library, so Extra is generally sufficient. Premium matters only if you specifically want emulated or classic-era Star Wars releases, which are a separate and much smaller group.
How long does it take to finish the main Star Wars campaigns?
Roughly 17–20 hours for Jedi: Fallen Order, 20–25 for Outlaws and Jedi: Survivor, 8–10 for Squadrons, and 5–7 for the Battlefront II campaign. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga runs about 25–30 hours for the story and past 60 hours for full completion.
Do I need to play Fallen Order before Jedi: Survivor?
Strongly recommended rather than strictly required. Survivor continues Cal Kestis’s story directly and assumes you know the supporting cast, and the first game’s combat and traversal systems serve as an extended tutorial for the sequel’s expanded versions.
Which Star Wars game on PlayStation Plus is best for two players on one console?
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the only one of these picks with drop-in local co-op, so it is the default choice for shared-screen play. For online play with a friend, Battlefront II lets you squad up, and Squadrons supports coordinated 5v5 teams.
