Published
April 30, 2024Summary
- From blockbuster movie deals to great discounts on classic Star Wars games, there’s plenty to celebrate this upcoming May the 4th on the Xbox Store.
- Continue the story of Cal Kestis in one of 2023’s best in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor with Game Pass.
- Pre-order Star Wars Outlaws and get ready to experience the first-ever open world Star Wars game later this year on Xbox Series X|S.
It is a period of celebration.
Players, logging on from their secret rebel base (e.g. home), turned on their Xbox consoles today and achieved victory by discovering dozens of Star Wars games and films discounted as part of the May the 4th sale on the Xbox Store.
From recent releases like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster, and Star Wars: Squadrons, to the exciting revelation that the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws is now available for pre-order for Xbox Series X|S, players struck a mighty blow for joy and excitement by joining in the celebration for all things Star Wars.
But these savings will not last for long. There are whispers that dark side forces may be at work, one that is working in the shadows and will remove these discounted prices in the very near future.
For now, all we can do is jump in… and play.
May the Force be with you!
Pre-order Star Wars Outlaws for Xbox Series X|S on the Xbox Store
The Star Wars galaxy is full of opportunities if you know where to look — and are willing to take the risk to find them.

In this massive open-world adventure game from Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment, you’ll play as Kay Vess, a promising scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life. Along with her companion, Nix, you’ll learn how to navigate your way through some of the most ruthless crime syndicates while building your own reputation as one of the galaxy’s most wanted.

Play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor with Game Pass
Picking up five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and his increasingly desperate fight against threats both new and familiar as the galaxy continues to descend further into darkness.
Now Game Pass members can jump in and start playing one of last year’s breakout hits, taking the reigns as one of the last surviving Jedi Knights in this third-person, galaxy-spanning adventure game from Respawn Entertainment.

Revisit “Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace” 25 Years Later
It’s hard to imagine that it has already been 25 years since we were first introduced to iconic villains like Darth Maul and the Battle Droids, met a young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and new ally Jar-Jar Binks. This movie catapulted Star Wars back into the collective mainstream and it hasn’t been the same since with several new films, various animated features, and multiple Disney+ original series (Grogu!). Just about everything we’ve come to love about Star Wars over the past two decades can be traced back to “The Phantom Menace.”
So, for this May the 4th, why not revisit the film the re-started it all by picking it up — and many other great Star Wars films — at great discounted prices on the Microsoft Store. Check out all the discounted Star Wars films available here on the Microsoft Store.
