Get Started

Strap yourself in, kid. Next stop: Redemption

Your adventure in the greatest galaxy far, far away stars here! Follow these simple steps to jump into your favorite universe to begin rewriting your Star Wars Galaxies saga!

Create your SWG: Redemption Account
In order to login to the game or use our services, you must create an account. We use our forums as a central accounts service so you'll always use the same credentials to log into both the forums and game. Click here to create your account. If you already have an account, please do not create another as multiple accounts per household are not allowed. For more information, see our Account Guidelines.

Download the SWG: Redemption Launcher
You'll need to use the SWG: Redemption Launcher to download the SWG: Redemption Client. You do not need a copy of Star Wars Galaxies downloaded to play (for more information see our FaQ). If you play on other SWG servers, be sure to install SWG: Redemption in a separate location to avoid conflicts with the game files. Click here to download the Launcher. Once it has downloaded, extract the files to your preferred location, then run the launcher.

Use the Launcher to Patch the Game
Once you have downloaded, extracted, and ran the launcher, you will need to sign in. After signing in, you'll be asked to specify a path to install SWG: Redemption. Remember, do not specify the location of an existing SWG installation, it must be a fresh, empty folder. Click the "Update" button to patch the complete client. The launcher will determine what is needed, patch, and let you know when you're ready to play.

Launch the Game and Explore the Galaxy
After patching is complete, the "Play" button will illuminate. Click the Play button to launch the game and you're in! Get started by creating your first character and joining your next adventure. To get more involved in our community, engage on the forums and join us in Discord to chat with other players!
