## May the Force Be Preserved: GOG Adds Classic Star Wars Games to Its Preservation Program

GOG, the PC gaming platform renowned for its DRM-free approach, is bolstering its commitment to gaming history by adding a fleet of classic *Star Wars* titles to its game preservation program. This initiative aims to ensure these beloved games remain playable and accessible on modern and future systems, safeguarding them from the inevitable march of technological progress.

The games joining the GOG preservation program, bringing a surge of nostalgia for fans of a galaxy far, far away, include:

* *Star Wars: Dark Forces* (Classic, 1995)
* *Star Wars: X-Wing Special Edition* (1993)
* *Star Wars: TIE Fighter Special Edition* (1994)
* *Star Wars: Battlefront* (Classic, 2004)
* *Star Wars: Rebel Assault 1 + 2* (1993 and 1995)

First unveiled last November, GOG’s preservation program currently boasts 162 DRM-free titles. The program aims to maintain and update older games to function seamlessly on “current and future” Windows systems, complete with dedicated tech support to assist players. The initiative features a diverse library, already including classic titles like *Breath of Fire IV*, *Diablo*, *System Shock 2*, and the original *Resident Evil* trilogy.

One of the most appealing aspects of the program is its commitment to accessibility. Even if a game is eventually delisted from the GOG store, those who have purchased it through the preservation program will retain access, ensuring players can continue enjoying their favorite classic titles.

GOG has ambitious plans for the program, aiming to incorporate “hundreds” of games by the end of the year. If you’re eager to revisit these iconic *Star Wars* games or experience them for the first time, you can find them on [GOG’s game preservation webpage](https://www.gog.com/en/gog-preservation-program?source=news). As an added bonus, all of the newly added *Star Wars* games are currently available at a 75 percent discount until May 6th. Now is a great time to expand your library and support the preservation of gaming history.
