Star Wars Battlefront celebrates The Force Awakens release with double score weekend

Time to cash in on that Star Wars hype

Earlier this month,Star Wars Battlefront was updated with the Battle of Jakku DLC, which made two new maps and a new game mode available to players. The Battle of Jakku DLC is said to take place 30 years before Star Wars: The Force Awakens and directly after the end of Return of the Jedi.

With Battlefront's link to The Force Awakens in mind, EA and DICE have announced a Double Score Weekend for Star Wars: Battlefront. Sure, Battlefront's matchmaking could be considered horrible by some, but a Double Score Weekend is a great way to cash in on the Star Wars hype.

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Double Score Weekend is active between December 18, 1:00 AM PT and December 21, 1:00 AM PT.

If you haven't boot up Star Wars Battlefront recently, you'll be in for an update. The Xbox One, PS4 and PC have all been updated with a patch nerfed Boba Fett, buffed AT-ATs and tweaked some weapons.
