Hi folks!

Happy 13 years with Star Wars: The Old Republic! Much has been accomplished this year and we are happy to see players enjoying Game Update 7.6 “Galactic Threads”. Let’s take a look at what’s happened in 2024 so far!

Game Updates

We started off the year with Galactic Seasons 6 “Building a Foundation” and debuted Date Night Companion missions featuring Arcann, Koth Vortena, Theron Shan, and Lana Beniko. We will continue to deliver these throughout the year and keep you all posted on the next companions.
Game Update 7.5 “Desperate Defiance” released in late May and came with a variety of new content including the continuation of the main storyline, the debut of the Basilisk Prototype Venture, a new spring seasonal event, and a modernization update for the planet Hutta.

In Game Update 7.5 “Desperate Defiance”, players will return to one of SWTOR’s origin story planets, Hutta. The team has been hard at work modernizing many parts of this planet that not only appear...

Galactic Seasons 7 “The Greatest Bounty”, which released with Game Update 7.5.1 was extended to January 7, so be sure get all your bounties in to reap all the rewards!

And now Game Update 7.6 launched on December 10 and with it came Dynamic Encounters, the Propagator Core XR-53 Operation Boss, PvP Season 7, Life Day, and more modernization updates to planets Tython, Hoth, Korriban, and Ilum and also character models.

Modernization

The team has done an incredible job with the modernization updates over the last couple years, and one question I have seen pop up every now and then is “why modernize the game?”. The short answer is that SWTOR launched in 2011, and we have to replace, extend, and refine our technology which enables us to continue delivering regular updates to the game. Both hardware and software have substantially improved over the years and many of our changes enable us to leverage the new tech.

There have been huge improvements made in 7.6 to the environments of Tython, Korriban, Hoth, and Ilum, and I am pleased to see our modernization efforts continue with character models.

Mac Launcher

In case you missed it, we now have an open beta test for the new Mac launcher! Back in October, we opened a closed technical test and we received nearly a thousand players responding to it! We rolled out the technical test to several groups of players to validate how the launcher and ultimately the game would perform on select M-Series Mac machines. We’ve now moved to open beta, and anyone who would like to check it out can download the launcher from the main page on swtor.com.

Skeleton Crew inspired items

Our collaboration with Lucasfilm Games continues on with new Cartel Market offerings inspired by the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew™. The Mysterious Rogue outfit and Fearless Buccaneer weapons are fun additions to any player’s wardrobe who may want to indulge in the pirate life.

That’s right, companion and mini pet functionality has now come to SWTOR! The Meirm Cicada mount is our newest reward for any player who is a Subscriber through January 4, 2025.
