And a handful of Star Wars games are on sale on Steam as part of the EA August sale until August 19, but there are also some others that are just generally cheap right now. Here are a few Star Wars games to whet your appetite in the coming weeks.

Star Wars Jedi

EA Star Wars

Respawn’s take on Star Wars is the type of action game that just feels good to play. It has some of the snappiest Force mechanics a Star Wars game has ever been able to capture, the lightsaber fights are a delight, and the big AAA production value means it’s also a pretty solid Star Wars story. Both the original Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and its sequel Jedi: Survivor are on sale on Steam for $9.99 and $31.49, respectively. The Xbox versions of both games are also on sale, at $9.99 and $27.99.

Star Wars: Republic Commando

PlayStation

If you want to step away from the Jedi, 2005’s Republic Commando is a solid first-person shooter game with tactical elements. The bite-sized campaign has you commanding a squad of clone troopers and engaging in actual strategic combat scenarios rather than just running and gunning. The game is on sale until tomorrow, 8/15 on PlayStation for $7.49, but you can also get it for $9.99 on Steam and Humble Bundle and $14.99 on Switch.
