Participants in the Star Wars: The Old Republic beta have logged 1 million hours of testing, BioWare has announced.

Last weekend, the firm invited tens of thousands of players onto servers as part of their ongoing stress-test, to strain servers before the game’s official launch date.

Speaking in an interview with Eurogamer, BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk described the success of the beta tests so far, stating:

“One crazy number is we had over a million hours of testing over the weekend. It was a huge test, and there are even bigger ones coming. The key thing is for us to take those learnings, apply them and make the service really stable. We’re happy with the game.”

He went on to say while the team is cautiously optimistic, “we’re all very paranoid”.

Star Wars: The Old Republic will launch in North America and Europe on December 20.
