Summary

  • Star Wars: The Old Republic offers double XP, a B25-SAL Probe Droid, and more for Star Wars Day 2025.
  • The 16-day event also includes 50% off Collections unlocks.
  • Promotional sales and freebies help make this year's Star Wars Day celebrations particularly noteworthy.

Star Wars: The Old Republic players can earn double XP, get a free droid mini-pet, and more for a limited time. It's been a big weekend for Star Wars fans, with many games and stores running themed promotions to celebrate May the 4th, and the franchise's long-running MMO is no exception. Anyone who logs into Star Wars: The Old Republic over the next couple of weeks can get a good deal of in-game freebies.

While Star Wars Day rolls around every year, this year's round of sales and giveaways has seemed particularly noteworthy. Epic and Steam are both running major discounts, a new collection of classic games from the franchise has come out, and two of Prime Gaming's 22 free games for May 2025 are Star Wars titles, with a few additional ones being available to stream for Luna Plus subscribers. Amid the wave of promos, it's only natural that The Old Republic would join in the celebration.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Releases New Update for April 2025

Star Wars: The Old Republic releases a brand-new April update, bringing a wide variety of improvements to the long-running MMORPG.

On May 1, Broadsword announced its plans for Star Wars Day 2025, which include double XP for all users and a 50% sale on Collections unlocks. The promotion began that same day and will run until May 16, 2025, giving players a couple of weeks to take advantage of all the giveaways and discounts. In addition to the XP boost and Collections sale, SWTOR is giving away the B25-SAL Probe as a mini-pet droid to anyone who logs in during that timeframe. Promotional shots of the floating, spinning droid show off The Old Republic' s ongoing graphical updates, which include some noticeably more detailed textures than older builds of the nearly 14-year-old MMO.

All Star Wars: The Old Republic Star Wars Day 2025 Promotions

  • 50% Collections Unlock Sale
  • All Inspired By items on the Cartel Market will be 25-75% off
  • Double XP Event
  • Log in and receive an exclusive B25-SAL Probe Droid Mini-Pet

The 16-day promotion is one of the longer-lasting Star Wars Day deals available this year. That's fitting, considering how The Old Republic remains the longest Star Wars game to this day, giving players over 500 hours of content if they try to experience everything the continually updated MMO has to offer. Getting twice the XP for two weeks is particularly noteworthy, especially for anyone trying to level up without much grinding.

Since Broadsword took over The Old Republic from BioWare, the game has received plenty of content updates, promos, and graphical upgrades. Despite being over a decade old, it seems like the title still has plenty of life left in it, and deals like this Star Wars Day celebration certainly help keep it going.
