What Features Does KYBER Add to STAR WARS Battlefront II?

Updated

KYBER is a unified game launcher for STAR WARS Battlefront II (EA) on PC that adds community-hosted multiplayer, full mod support, a server browser, and private games. It is built from the ground up with the user experience at the forefront of its design, so the added features are meant to make playing Battlefront the way you want easier than before. If you already own the EA PC version of Battlefront II and want community-run matches or modded play, KYBER is the layer that provides it.

Core features KYBER adds

Community-hosted multiplayer

Instead of relying only on the game's original matchmaking, KYBER adds multiplayer hosted by the community. This shifts who runs the matches and how you find them, which is the foundation for the other features below.

Full mod support

KYBER supports mods fully, so modded content can be used in the multiplayer experience rather than being limited to single-player or offline tinkering.

Server browser

A server browser lets you see and choose from available community-hosted games directly, rather than being placed into a match automatically.

Private games

Private games let you set up matches that aren't open to the general public, useful for playing with a specific group.

User-experience-first design

KYBER states it was built from the ground up with the user experience at the forefront of its design. In practice, this is the design principle behind how the launcher and its features are presented, not a separate gameplay feature.
