Each map has a set number of command posts, and it is beneficial for the player to occupy as many as possible (space battles use a modified command post system). Battles take place on the ground and in space and require the player to capture command posts, specific areas of territory represented by floating icons on the playing field and colored dots on the player's heads-up display. The overall structure of Renegade Squadron is similar to other games in the Battlefront series in that it is a war game played primarily from a third-person view. Opinions on the graphics were mixed, and the controls were generally described as inadequate. The game was considered an improvement to its predecessor (the PSP version of Star Wars: Battlefront II) and it was praised for its customization options and online play, but the single-player campaign was criticized for being brief and shallow. Renegade Squadron received a mixed reaction from the video gaming community. In contrast with previous titles in the series that require characters to have a set class, players in Renegade Squadron are able to build their character as they see fit. The game also features several types of multiplayer modes. The campaign is part of the now non- canonical Star Wars Legends continuity.

The game's single-player campaign follows the eponymous Rebel Alliance covert ops unit Renegade Squadron and depicts various battles throughout the Galactic Civil War from their perspective, starting with their formation by Han Solo prior to the Battle of Yavin, and ending with the Battle of Endor, which marked the defeat of Galactic Empire.

Renegade Squadron was one of the first games available in a bundle pack with the newly released PSP redesign. It was released on Octoin North America and later in Australia and Europe, as a PlayStation Portable (PSP) exclusive. It is the third entry in the Star Wars: Battlefront series and the first handheld exclusive. Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is a third-person shooter video game based on the Star Wars franchise.
