NEWS: Star Wars: Battlefront is coming to Xbox One and Windows PC on November 17th

Star Wars: Battlefront is coming to Xbox One and Windows PC on November 17th and today we get a first look at the official reveal trailer.

RUMOR: Xbox One owners may get Star Wars Battlefront before the PS4

Xbox Marketing manager Aaron Greenberg has strongly hinted on Twitter that the game will launch earlier in the Xbox One via EA Access. Access is currently only available on the Xbox One, and gives users access to certain titles five days ahead of general release. Unfortunately it doesn't look like EA Access will launch on the PlayStation 4 any time soon. So for the time being, Xboxers will be the first ones returning to the Star Wars universe. We're chasing this up with Microsoft now for confirmation.

@Spitfire_Spud @PNF4LYFE @JCrookedSmile @TiC_Podcast @The_CrapGamer @XboxP3 @EAAccess @EA_DICE Very ready & play it first on #XboxOne!
