    I have it preordered on Steam, but I can't tell you if it will install Origin when I go to play it. No preload available.

    Should we do up a google sheet so we can get all this info tracked and we can all add each other?

    It's fully crossplay, so we should all be able to play together regardless of system.

    Oh that is way cool. So I can embarrass myself on the PS4 against PC VR HOTAS pilots?

    Edit: Just look for the vehicle flying in a straight line from time to time and that will be me.

    The auto tracking cannon variants seem like they could make controllers more viable versus HOTAS?

    I like that they are being absolutely clear about this being a self contained experience but I hope this doesn't preclude more content coming at a good clip.

    My friend played the beta on Xbox purely with a controller and the aiming is just fine with it. The only thing he said he was looking forward to playing with his HOTAS are the more easily accessible buttons to control power/targeting/etc without compromising aiming.

    My friend played with a Thrustmaster HOTAS. The only problem they had was finding Button 3 (it's not the same?) and button 9 (it's unlabeled).

    If you buy it from Steam you will not need Origin

    Just found this on the subreddit:

    Sorry for the italian, basically he's saying that only the Epic Store version requires Origin, for the Steam version only the account linking is required, afterwards Squadrons works without Origin. Thought this was helpful because I didn't found an official statement on the matter anywere else.

    Good goooooood.

    I could save four bucks buying this on GreenManGaming (which is an Origin key)

    But that four bucks is much better spent not using Origin.

    Origin is actually fine. But steam is convenient and honestly, months from now when I'm just idly scrolling through games to play, I don't look at anything but steam. It's funny like that.

    I was thinking the same thing today! It always takes me time to remember that there are games outside of Steam for me to stare at forlornly, pondering the idea of reinstalling.
