Celebrate May the 4th with These Galactic Star Wars Events on Xbox

It is a period of celebration.

Players, logging on from their secret rebel base (e.g. home), turned on their Xbox consoles today and achieved victory by discovering dozens of Star Wars games and films discounted as part of the May the 4th sale on the Xbox Store.

From recent releases like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster, and Star Wars: Squadrons, to the exciting revelation that the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws is now available for pre-order for Xbox Series X|S, players struck a mighty blow for joy and excitement by joining in the celebration for all things Star Wars.

But these savings will not last for long. There are whispers that dark side forces may be at work, one that is working in the shadows and will remove these discounted prices in the very near future.

For now, all we can do is jump in… and play.

May the Force be with you!

Revisit “Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace” 25 Years Later

It’s hard to imagine that it has already been 25 years since we were first introduced to iconic villains like Darth Maul and the Battle Droids, met a young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and new ally Jar-Jar Binks. This movie catapulted Star Wars back into the collective mainstream and it hasn’t been the same since with several new films, various animated features, and multiple Disney+ original series (Grogu!). Just about everything we’ve come to love about Star Wars over the past two decades can be traced back to “The Phantom Menace.”

So, for this May the 4th, why not revisit the film the re-started it all by picking it up — and many other great Star Wars films — at great discounted prices on the Microsoft Store. Check out all the discounted Star Wars films available here on the Microsoft Store.
