May Star Wars Battlefront Update: 4 Things to Expect & 3 Not To

Expect Bug Fixes

We don't have an official change log from EA DICE but we already have a pretty good idea about what to expect from it. 

The game's producer says that the update will be focused on fixing some of the problems that appeared after the Outer Rim release in March and April. We don't have a full list but we should see at least some of the issues below get squashed when it arrives.

EA DICE is keeping a running log of all of the issues plaguing Battlefront at the moment and we expect many of these to vanish when the update arrives.
