- The best Star Wars game is less than $3 right now in huge Steam sale - 2 May 2024
If you ever became bored with life and wanted to shake things up a bit, one of the best ways to add a little conflict to your life is to ask a bunch of Star Wars fans what the best game is. Then stand back and enjoy the chaos. Thankfully there is a definitive answer, at least to me, and that's Star Wars: TIE Fighter Special Edition , the true aesthete's choice in that star war held in a galaxy far, far away.

- TIE Fighter: Total Conversion patch adds ray tracing, but honestly I'm way more excited about the animated concourse menu - 28 July 2023
Sometimes a couple screenshots and a list of patch notes just isn't enough for an update. Sometimes a new patch needs a proper trailer, and that's the case for version 1.3.3 of the Tie Fighter: Total Conversion mod. You can watch it below, and it's pretty glorious... Read more.
- Star Wars TIE Fighter has a full remake, available to play right now - 21 July 2023
A Star Wars TIE Fighter remake, which rebuilds and expands one of the best Star Wars games using the engine from X-Wing Alliance, is available to play, with a brand-new update, right now. Originally released in 1994, Star Wars TIE Fighter is the predecessor to other LucasArt dogfight sims like Jedi Starfighter and Rogue Squadron, and even has a tangential link to Bethesda's Starfield (more on that later). Now, you can play the whole game, complete with ray tracing, improved visuals, overhauled gameplay, extra ships, and more, and it's available right now. Read the rest of the story...

- TIE Fighter: Total Conversion may well be the perfect mod - 28 March 2022
It can be hard going back to play a game you loved years ago. Sometimes nostalgia is strong enough to overlook things like ageing graphics, tinny sound and fewer of the features we've become accustomed to with modern games. But sometimes no matter how much you enjoyed a game in the past, it's just too difficult to get back into it again when so many years, or even decades, have gone by... Read more.
- 1994's TIE Fighter has been modded into 1999's X-Wing Alliance, spectacularly - 4 July 2021
LucasArts and Totally Games' Star Wars: TIE Fighter is still one of the best space sims ever made despite being 25+ years old, but now, after "years in development", it has been modded into X-Wing Alliance - which wouldn't be impressive, given that Alliance came out in 1999, except the results are incredible. Even though this is technically a case of a 1994 game being modded into a 1999 game, it's done via the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade project - which is a still-ongoing effort by a team of modders to completely update Alliance to look like a modern game. Pretty much every model, texture, and background in the game has been overhauled to incredible effect. Now a separate team of modders has put TIE Fighter through this project , and the results look impressive, most impressive. It includes all 13 original campaigns, with the first eight being "reimagined" with new ships and missions. Inclu…
- Here's a stunning mod that remakes the original TIE Fighter - 4 July 2021
group of dedicated fans have remade 1994 LucasArts classic TIE Fighter to frankly stunning effect, giving new life to the nearly 30 year old game. Using the engine from 1999's X-Wing Alliance, given new life by a major mod project to update that game, the creators of TIE Fighter: Total Conversion have remade all 13 campaigns, and their training missions, to deliver the original experience remade in a far superior engine...
