Maybe. But No Mans Sky got them beat by a long shot.

This is a great comeback story.

Destiny 2 and NMS both will have had better comebacks by the end of this year imo.

Sure, new content is great. But can they actually fix their game and make sure it works? Now that would be a comeback.

All the new content in the world doesn’t mean a thing to me if they can’t make their game work well.

Both games have done great. I think you can look at Ubisoft at some of their post launch support as being great as well.

Speaking of the added Jetpack Cargo timer, is there any chance this mode comes back? It was my favorite mode back then and I would love to see it return.

Maybe in the future. It wasn't that well liked or played as much as our other modes.

you missed the STAP, BARC speeeder and AT-TE, and Bespin, and D'qar SA in the part where you break it down into different sections. Could you please edit them in? i want to be able to link to your comment when someone asks what was added since launch.

As you wish

What about potentially rolling it into a playlist with Strike, Extraction, and Ewok Hunt? Might help boost the numbers for the game modes if they’re more condensed.

It's something like this that we might consider.
