Play Star Wars Battlefront Today, Get 4,444 Free Credits

Today, May 4, is Star Wars Day. Electronic Arts is celebrating the occasion with a number of bonuses for its catalog of Star Wars games, one of which is free credits for DICE's Star Wars Battlefront.

As announced previously, all you have to do is log into the game anytime today and you will receive an allotment of 4,444 credits. A new Hutt Contract is also available; this is a new feature announced in March that gives players the chance to pay credits and then complete bounties to earn rewards. In this case, spending between 3500 and 8000 credits unlocks new bounties that will let you get your hands on the Bacta Bomb Star Card. This gives a health boost to you and your teammates.

Additionally, EA is offering free access to Battlefront on PC in the form of a four-hour trial. You'll be able to grab the game from Origin beginning at 11 AM PST and try it out, but you won't have access to any of the DLC that's currently available.

Outside of Battlefront, there are bonuses and new content available for Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. You can check out this post for a full roundup of EA's Star Wars Day plans.
