One of the most successful and revered MMORPGs of all time is expanding their platforms almost a decade after launch. Today, Star Wars, The Old Republic finally available on Steam.

This move comes as part of EA’s concerted effort to put more of its games on Steam. Approximately two dozen were added in June. This is The old RepublicThe Steam debut because it was originally released when EA was creating Origin as a rival to the Steam store.

However, the entire game is not run through Steam. The old Republic it still requires its own client which must be installed on your PC. However, launching via Steam comes with trading cards and Steam Achievements (the latter will be implemented in a future update). Also, there is a cross save and cross save game progression between Steam and the direct client.

If you’re interested Star Wars, The Old Republic It’s free to some degree, and it’s quite generous with the amount of content it will allow you to try. It’s free up to level 60, there are no time restrictions and includes access to the first two expansions in history. Upgrading to an optional $ 15 / mo subscription increases the level cap to 75, opens raids and PVP items, and unlocks the remaining expansions. It’s worth noting that buying a single-month subscription gives you permanent access to those expansions, even if you eventually cancel.
