I don't know why it took them so long but wow. It's like a totally different game in performance mode now. It should have launched this way. If you're a star wars fan and have been waiting, jump in now. It is also on sale
Just a reminder to those of you upset about the recent PlayStation Plus price hikes that all FREE TO PLAY online games do not require a PSN subscription. With recent price hikes to what is now $80 a year minimum (essential) this is something to keep in mind.
I actually just found this out recently and thought it would be worth sharing.
