Overview

Few games can claim to have defined a genre, but Wing Commander did exactly that when it launched in 1990. Widely regarded as one of the most advanced PC titles of its era, it pushed the limits of visual and audio fidelity while establishing the space combat sim as a mainstream experience.

Now, the 35th Anniversary Edition brings this legendary game back, restored in collaboration with the dedicated Wing Commander community to deliver the most dynamic version ever released.

If you appreciate cinematic storytelling, atmospheric 1990s aesthetics, and challenging flight combat, this restored classic will transport you back to the golden age of PC gaming.
