Star Wars Battlefront II Update Released, Brings New End of Match MVP Screen and More

DICE has released a new Star Wars Battlefront II game update today, and it’s out now on all platforms! On the PlayStation 4, it’s at 860MB and is called 1.04. Thankfully, the entire patch notes list has been released as well.

One of the biggest new tweaks is the end of match MVP screen where it won’t show the same player in all five categories. Here’s what DICE had to say about it:

With this redesign, we will highlight players based on their score instead of specific “honors”. This means that a larger number of players will have the chance to become highlighted in the End of Round MVP screen.

Additionally, players will no longer get an error message when quitting the game. Check out the complete patch notes below that includes a lot of in-game tweaks in terms of Battlepoints earn rate.
