At the moment, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic trial has only been announced for Europe, where the full game is available to sample free until May 9.

The official Stars Wars site recently published a list game deals and in-game events that are available coinciding with Star Wars day.

These include Star Wars coming to Lego Fortnite, Fortnite Battle Royale, Fortnite Festival and Rocket Racing in a new crossover event launching today.

It was announced this week that the long-delayed Star Wars Hunters will finally be released for Switch, iOS and Android devices in June.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was added to the EA Play subscription service, which is included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, in late April.
