Star Wars Battlefront should end up being one of the best-selling videogames of 2015. If you are planning on picking up the game (like millions of gamers are expected to do this holiday season), we also suggest buying the following complementary products so that you will be able to get the most out of the experience.
Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass
While Star Wars Battlefront is shipping with plenty of content (including the Battle of Jakku map that will be offered as free DLC), Electronic Arts will also be releasing four major expansions for the game. Although not much is known so far, the company did announce that season pass holders will get a two-week early access to the downloadable content in addition to acquiring the “Shoot First” emote.
So, if you want even more content for the videogame, make sure to check out the season pass with this link on Amazon.
Best Surround Sound Gaming Headsets
If you played Battlefront during the open beta and/or through other methods, then you should know that the game sounds just as good as it looks. Being able to hear the blasters going off in different directions really adds to the immersion. Not to mention that having a surround sound headset will help you spot your opponent as you will be able to hear which direction a particular noise is coming from.
If you are playing the game on the PlayStation 4, you should check out Sony’s line of PlayStation headsets as the console manufacture will most likely add custom audio profiles for Star Wars Battlefront via the free-to-download Headset Companion App. Not to mentioned that all of these products support 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound. You can check out the three options with the following pages on Amazon: PlayStation Silver Wired Stereo Headset, PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset and PlayStation Pulse Elite Edition Wireless Stereo Headset.
For Xbox One gamers, Turtle Beach has two products that is capable of producing DTS Headphone:X 7.1 Surround Sound. The Ear Force Stealth 500X is the more affordable option while Ear Force Elite 800X comes with more features. Take a look at both via the subsequent links: Ear Force Elite 800X and Ear Force Stealth 500X.
PC players should check out the popular HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset as it uses 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound via the included USB Audio Sound Card. You can find the product here.
Analog Covers
You will have to be accurate with your shots in Star Wars Battlefront if you want to be successful during encounters in Battlefront. If you don’t like the default analog sticks of the DualShock 4 and/or Xbox One Wireless Controller, then you might want to take a look at some third-party alternatives. We suggest taking look at the various Kontrol Freek products via this page to find a suitable solution.
Official Strategy Guide
If you want even an even more competitive edge, you might want to buy the official strategy guide. The Prima Games book will provide expert tips for the co-op mode in addition to the multiplayer matches. These strategies will include how to make the best use out of every vehicle and weapon in the shooter.
Hardcore Star Wars fans might want to take a look at the collector’s edition as well. The more expensive version comes in a hardcover design in addition to a bonus lithograph set, which will be protected with enclosed envelopes, featuring the following environments: Endor, Hoth, Sullust and Tatooine. Find the guides with the following pages: Star Wars Battlefront Standard Edition Guide and Star Wars Battlefront Collector’s Edition Guide.
System Bundle
The upcoming videogame is a current-gen only release as it won’t be playable on the Xbox 360 nor PlayStation 3. If you don’t own a capable PC or console, then you should take a hard look at the two PlayStation 4 bundles.
The PlayStation 4 500GB Console Star Wars Battlefront Bundle comes with a standard Jet Black console and DualShock 4 in addition to digital copies of Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Racer Revenge and Super Star Wars.

Companion Book
Star Wars Battlefront does not have a traditional campaign. So, if you would like a story to go along with the game, you should pick up Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company. The book follows Twilight Company, the 61st mobile infantry of the Rebel Alliance. If you are interested, you can purchase the novel here.
Star Wars: The Complete Saga
Battlefront features iconic characters, environments, vehicles and weapons from the movies, including the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. To get the most of context out of these battles, you should watch all of the films if you haven’t already. If you missed out on the previous six episodes, you might want to consider picking up the Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray Collection with this link.
With the above-mentioned products, you should be able to get the most out of your playtime with Star Wars Battlefront. The videogame is launching on the 17th of November in North America for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
