Star Wars Outlaws hitting the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in May 2026 has sent a wave of new players looking at the rest of the Star Wars catalog, including what can run on a phone. The Android shelf is thinner than console but covers more ground than most expect: a long-running hero collection RPG, two console-grade classic RPGs reborn on mobile, an arena shooter, a strategy card battler, pinball, and an Apple-Arcade-style narrative pick. These seven Star Wars games on Android cover what is genuinely worth installing in 2026.
What to look for in a Star Wars game on Android
The franchise’s mobile shelf splits into two clear camps. Live-service free-to-play titles like Galaxy of Heroes and Hunters give you something to do for years if you do not mind the gacha pull rhythm. Premium ports like KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are one-time purchases that you finish in a few weekends and put back on the shelf.
Decide between those camps first, then pick by the era: prequel, original trilogy, sequel trilogy, or the Old Republic.

The 7 best Star Wars games on Android in 2026
1. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes — best long-running collection RPG
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is the franchise’s biggest mobile title and the one most fans end up with. Collect characters across every era, build squads of five for turn-based combat, and grind through the Galactic War, Squad Arena, and the long-form raids. EA Capital Games keeps the roster current with new releases tied to whatever Disney is pushing.
Galaxy of Heroes for Star Wars fans on Android remains the most complete way to play with hundreds of characters and ships in a single app. The depth of theory-crafting in the meta is genuinely impressive for a mobile RPG.
Where it falls short: Free-to-play gacha mechanics are the heart of the design; competitive end-game requires either patience or money. Energy timers cap how much you can play per day. Some legacy events require characters that are hard to unlock without specific event windows.
Pricing:
- Free with optional in-app purchases.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Bottom line: The default Star Wars mobile pick. Pace yourself with the energy timers and skip the gacha pulls unless you really want a specific squad.
2. Star Wars: Hunters — best arena shooter
Star Wars: Hunters is Zynga’s free-to-play arena shooter set after Return of the Jedi on the moon of Vespaara. Four-on-four matches drop you into a small roster of bounty hunters, troopers, Jedi, and droids, each with distinct kits. Matches run three to seven minutes and feel closer to Overwatch than to a traditional Star Wars shooter.
After a longer-than-expected soft-launch, Hunters released globally in 2024 and has settled into regular seasonal content drops. The Star Wars universe action gameplay holds up well on a phone with a controller, though touch controls work too.
Where it falls short: Roster size is still small compared to peer hero shooters. The Battle Pass push and cosmetic monetization are typical for the genre and noticeable. Cross-play with Nintendo Switch has matchmaking quirks during off-peak hours.
Pricing:
- Free with optional Battle Pass and cosmetic purchases.
Platforms: Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch.
Bottom line: Pick Hunters if you want fast, competitive Star Wars on a phone. Skip it if hero shooters are not your genre.
3. Star Wars: KOTOR — best classic RPG port
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on Android is the BioWare classic from 2003, ported by Aspyr and still the gold standard for Star Wars storytelling on any platform. Set 4,000 years before the films, the campaign runs roughly 30 hours, supports both light and dark side paths, and contains one of the better third-act twists in the medium.
The mobile port handles touch controls reasonably well, with optional controller support for Bluetooth gamepads. KOTOR for Star Wars on Android remains the strongest single-player option in the franchise on a phone.
Where it falls short: UI scaling on tablets is better than on phones; the menus were designed for a different aspect ratio. A few late-game bugs from the original release still surface on Android. Save management is per-device unless you use cloud backup.
Pricing:
- $9.99 one-time.
Platforms: Android, iOS, plus console and PC for the desktop original.
Bottom line: The best Star Wars story on Android. Skip it only if you have already played it on every other platform.
4. Star Wars: KOTOR 2 — best Sith-focused RPG
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is Obsidian’s follow-up to BioWare’s original, ported to Android by Aspyr in 2020. Darker tone, more morally grey companions, and a story that questions the Force itself rather than just the dark/light binary. For players who want a different angle on the Old Republic, KOTOR 2 is the sequel that earned its reputation.
The mobile version includes the Restored Content modder community fixes that were added to the Steam version, so the ending feels less cut than the original 2004 release.
Where it falls short: Heavier system requirements than the first KOTOR; older Android phones may stutter. The narrative starts slow and rewards patience. Touch controls struggle in late-game battles with multiple companions.
Pricing:
- $14.99 one-time.
Platforms: Android, iOS, plus console and PC.
Bottom line: The Star Wars RPG for players who already finished KOTOR and want a darker follow-up.
5. LEGO Star Wars: Battles — best LEGO strategy crossover
LEGO Star Wars: Battles is a real-time lane-strategy battler in the LEGO toybox style. Build a deck of LEGO Star Wars characters and vehicles, deploy them down three lanes, and try to topple the opponent’s towers before they topple yours. Matches are short, the LEGO presentation is fun for younger players, and the roster spans the prequel through sequel eras.
Originally launched on Apple Arcade with no IAPs, the game’s free-to-play Android version has different monetization but the same core gameplay.
Where it falls short: The Android free-to-play tier includes more grind and ads than the Apple Arcade version. The roster on mobile is smaller than what LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga ships on console.
Pricing:
- Free-to-play on Android with IAPs; included with Apple Arcade on iOS.
Platforms: Android, iOS (Apple Arcade), with separate console LEGO titles.
Bottom line: A solid casual pick for families with younger Star Wars fans. Skip it if you want the deeper LEGO Star Wars campaign experience; that is on console.
6. Star Wars Pinball 7 — best themed pinball
Star Wars Pinball 7 from Zen Studios is the longest-running Star Wars pinball compilation on mobile. Each table is themed to a film or character (Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett, Clone Wars, Episode VII, etc.) with full physics simulation and the soundtrack baked in. New tables show up at irregular intervals; existing ones rarely break across Android updates.
For pinball players, the Star Wars table set is one of the better-licensed pinball collections on any phone.
Where it falls short: The free app gives you one table; the rest are individual IAPs at $1.99 to $2.99 each. Older devices struggle with the physics on the more visually busy tables.
Pricing:
- Free with one default table.
- Additional tables: $1.99 to $2.99 each.
Platforms: Android, iOS, console.
Bottom line: Pick Star Wars Pinball if you already enjoy mobile pinball; the licenses make this collection genuinely fun for fans.
7. Vader Immortal — best narrative experience
Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series from ILMxLAB is the cinematic, mostly linear narrative set between Episodes III and IV. Originally a Meta Quest VR title, the Android port (where available through select OEMs and side-channels) trades VR motion controls for touch but keeps the three-episode story and the lightsaber dojo bonus mode.
The story has Vader, Luke, and an original protagonist whose family ties into a Force artifact subplot. Two to three hours of campaign across the three episodes, with the dojo extending replay time.
Where it falls short: The Android availability is uneven; some regions still see it as VR-only on Meta Quest. The touch-control combat is functional but loses the kinetic feel of VR. Replay value is limited once the story ends and the dojo’s novelty wears off.
Pricing:
- One-time purchase per episode where available.
Platforms: Meta Quest, Android (limited regions), iOS.
Bottom line: Worth the price for a focused Star Wars story if you can get it on your phone. Skip it if the VR-to-mobile control loss bothers you.
