5. Star Wars: Squadrons (2020) | PS4, Xbox One, PC
The most recent game here, Squadrons was released in October 2020 and already, after only a week or so of playing it, I’m convinced it should rank pretty highly on this list. I know I’m putting this game above some all-time classics, but that’s for good reason: Squadrons is fantastic. In fact, in a few years, I could see Squadrons and any potential sequels moving up even higher. I wrote a whole review about why it’s so good, but the short version is that it is the most visually impressive Star Wars space combat game ever made, has a great campaign, strong writing, and a multiplayer mode, Fleets, that could end up being a classic people play for years. And you can play the whole thing in VR to finally live out your childhood dreams of actually sitting in an X-wing and flying around space.
