Star Wars Battlefront is an upcoming action video game based on the Star Wars franchise developed by DICE and distributed by EA Games.

Fans who have yet to try out the "Star Wars Battlefront" beta have an entire day to sample DICE's latest shooter offer. Based on the famous franchise, the game's beta has now been extended to a full day.

The beta is not only an extended chance for players to try out the game before its release, but also for the developer to do more stress tests in the process, PC Gamer reported. The "Star Wars Battlefront" beta will now run until Oct. 13.

However, since this is an extension of technical tests, the entire experience may not run as smoothly as possible. Some of the scenarios that players should expect include being kicked out of the online game or losing connectivity. But these are all part of the process, according to the developer.

There appears to be a lot of hype and interest in "Star Wars Battlefront," especially with the beta. Over the weekend, EA had added more servers so that players can connect to the game and play.

During the entire process of the "Star Wars Battlefront" beta, the developer has responded to a couple of issues spotted by fans. For instance, the game appeared to noticeably have low resolution, DualShockers reported.

There is even a discrepancy between the console versions. The PS4 runs on 900o while the Xbox One does so on a lower end at 720p. DICE had addressed this, stating that the team prioritized the graphical fidelity over resolution of the game.

Considering the response of the developer, it appears that the low resolution of the game may be a final decision. No word has been announced on whether there are any plans to change this, though it should be noted that the current experience available is still in beta mode.

"Star Wars Battlefront' is coming to the Xbox One, PS4 and PC on Nov. 17.
