Think that we’d get a working online game at launch in 2015? Star Wars Battlefront, sadly, says otherwise.
Update: The game is currently working. We’ll let you know if anything changes. Original story below.
Despite the fact that I’ve been able to play before the game’s official launch tonight via EA Access, Star Wars Battlefront’s retail copy is currently unable to find any available multiplayer matches.
A quick search on the internet shows that I’m not the only person having this problem:
Just got booted from two Battlefront matches. It begins.

While typing this article up, EA’s Star Wars Twitter feed issued a statement:
