As part of Sony's service-based games, the public beta of Sony PlayStation's new first-party game "Star Wars" ended last weekend, but its performance has poured cold water on Sony. On Steam, the home of multiplayer games, according to SteamDB statistics, the peak number of players in the Steam version of "Star Wars" was only 2,388. Even on Sony's home PlayStation, the player rating of "Star Wars" on the PlayStation Store is only 2.67/5 (7,200 reviews).

As early as when Sony released the trailer for Overwatch, the YouTube video reviews were overwhelmingly negative. Many players thought that Overwatch's gameplay was unoriginal and too similar, and that the characters released had no special features (except for their colors). Some even ridiculed the game as "Overwatch 0.5". Due to Sony's PSN policy, the Steam version of Overwatch has various restrictions. According to the number of PlayStation Store reviews, the number of Steam beta players is less than one-third of the PlayStation version.

As a service game that sells for nearly 300 yuan, this public beta may have foreseen the future of "Star Wars".
