Named Starcraft: Remastered, this will be a redesigned version of the original game and its very popular expansion, Brood War. Along with that piece of news, we also knew that the original version of the game, as well as the expansion, will be made free some time in April. Now, the game is officially available for free, with the release of Patch 1.18.<\/p>\n<p>The patch was dropped late on Tuesday, with some new features. Now, you can play the original game in a borderless windowed mode. There were some tweaks with the back-end codes, some bugs were fixed, and the game is now compatible with Windows 10 as well. More importantly, you now can get the game for absolutely no cost, whether or not you have purchased the original game, or if you have lost your installation CD from years ago. You can get the game <a href=\"https:\/\/starcraft.com\/en-us\/articles\/20674424\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> by downloading the corresponding version, and then install according to the guide.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starcraft-118_CA641DF862FA45C9A13E9C0C0D825790-e1492774629618.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/starcraft-118_CA641DF862FA45C9A13E9C0C0D825790-e1492774629618.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"444\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43799 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"original starcraft\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>One of the most wanted features is the custom hotkey, however that one did not make it on this update. We don&#8217;t know if that feature is reserved for the remastered version, or another patch will come before then. Nevertheless, the game remains largely the same as it has been for the last 19 years.
