Star Wars Rogue Squadron II on Steam?

Rogue Leader on Steam. When?

It's quite likely it will never happen. Rogue Squadron 3D was originally made for PC—it's been a PC game for over 20 years. All they had to do was take the existing game and stick it on Steam.

Rogue Squadron II was never made for PC, so an entirely new port would have to be created from scratch. It's an order of magnitude more difficult than just putting an existing game on Steam.

"It's quite likely" <- heart starts pounding in joy
"it will never happen" <- :(

I don't know how difficult it is. If they manage to port it (which other games like halo did), I am pretty sure it will booster the sale of the new squadron game.

Rogue Leader is by far the best of the trilogy and I would love a PC/Switch port. The only real way to play Rogue Leader on PC is through the use of Dolphin Emulator (which if you don't know is an emulator used to play GameCube games) and finding a ROM for Rogue Leader.

I have played it on PC and it runs smoothly for me at least for the most part besides parts of the game where there is too much on screen. (Battle of Hoth, and Imperial Academy Heist)

I'd love to see this game for computer I never got the chance to play it since I never owned a Gamecube. =( I would buy it in a heartbeat if the 2nd Rogue Squadron came to Steam!!

It will never come to steam because its original developer Factor 5 doesn`t exist anymore. They tried to port all three games to XBox 360 but development was canceled. Lair on PS3 was the last game from Factor 5.
The best you can do now is to play the gamecube games with dolphin on pc.
