Star Wars: Squadrons is $34.95 at EGS if you still have the $15 coupon from Rocket League deal or MEGA Sale.
The coupons did not work until now as pre-orders were ineligible.
Note: activation of game from EGS on Origin is currently broken. Seems to be affecting everyone. No fix yet.

Does the PC game includes the VR option?
yes
The review I saw put a '?' in the VR column for the epic version. I'm waiting until that becomes a check mark before buying on the epic store.
edit: other people now saying it's working in vr.
Thanks, will grab it then!
confirmed?
I thought I'd check if it was cheaper on Origin, then realised it was totally free if you subscribe, downloading now - woohoo! free :)
Just purchased. Thanks for the heads up OP :)
has anyone actually successfully installed the game on origin?
nope it's still broken :(
Anyone got it activated yet? and if so what did you do? Speak with EA chat? thanks …… Im still stuck on "trouble activating… please retry" message and then it can also give error: "Enter the product code for Unidentified Game to begin the installation process". But i cannot find the product code in EPIC
Just have to play the waiting game. Waiting for the US to catch up to us. Great Scott!
I'm just secretly hoping with this debacle that once it gets fixed and activated, we get gifted pre-order bonuses for the troubles!
according to reddit this was supposed to be unlocked in america at either midnight or 4AM UTC depending on who says what, but its 9am now..
wish they'd fix this already…
What a bloody mess. From what I hear we're not even supposed to have to use Origin for this game. Why it's currently trying to launch through Origin, who knows.
And you still have to wait to download 40GB once the activation gets fixed because it doesn't look like you can start downloading until the code is applied!
so wtf is with this.
do we need to have origin installed or epic games or both?
When you purchase through Epic, it makes you install and login into Origin but then Origin fails to activate waiting for a non-existent code… don't know which launcher it uses though - maybe both as well?
absolute retard the game launchers these days. remember half life you just join multiplayer within the game without having to launch the steam/origin/facebook/spyware
People need to remember that they don't have to purchase this straight up front. It will be available on EA Play w/ xbox game pass ultimate before they blow $35
Probably, but that could be many months away
Nov 10 for game pass and play. Also its basic play and I doubt squadrons will be on basic right away.
It'll be available as a 10 hour trial on basic/Xbox Game Pass
Its interesting - on the store page for Epic, it states Available on 03/10/20 (changed date to Australia format)
But when you go into it, says Release Date Oct 2, 2020
Finally started working now!
Its working!
Installing now…unfortunately FTTN…max 25/5……..boooooooooooooo
7 hours to go for downloading
It's just ticked over and am downloading now. 32gb download.
+1
Welp, that sucks.. $35 down the toilet.. I have to run in 'test mode' to use my tv tuner card as the drivers aren't signed.
I have no desire whatsoever to play online, either.

Mate.. that is awesome.. thank you. Refund approved. Cheers
This game is a complete mess on PC. I would hold off on using coupon for a while.
HOTAS does not work properly at all. Multiple issues ranging from a built in 25% deadzone to impossible to have more than 2 devices setup properly.
Refresh rate above 60hz is borked. It runs high fps but visually is messed up and huge input lag.
Inputs and bindings do not work properly or cant be set properly.
Working fine for me, using 2070 OC and logitech attack 3 joystick + keyboard
Running avg 100 fps on ultra and no input lag
Installed. Make sure to turn High Dynamic Range off if your using a computer mointor (ie: not a TV).
The game looked awful for me before i turned it off. It was on by default.
waiting for this to come to xbox game pass..
PSA the rocket league coupon and previous megasale coupons expire 1st November I believe.
Anyone got any other ideas what to spend them on besides squadrons?
Hades, a must play if you like roguelite games or even have a tiny interest in them.
That's an awesome idea. I've been waiting for crack but I should just give the darn devs some money for doing a good job. And stop being such a tight douche.
The game is available if you have EA Play Pro subscription ($14.99/m or $99.99/yr)
Thats USD. $19.99/month or $129.99/year for Aus
Great deal, thank you!
Does launching this via epic or origin automatically boots up SteamVR?
