StarCraft: Remastered is a remastered edition of the 1998 real-time strategy video game StarCraft and its expansion Brood War, which was released on August 14, 2017. It retains the gameplay of the original StarCraft, but features ultra-high-definition graphics (ultra HD), re-recorded audio, and Blizzard's modern online feature suite. The remaster was developed over the period of a year and included playtesting from professional StarCraft players.

StarCraft: Remastered was the first project released by the "Classic Games division", a team at Blizzard focused on updating and remastering some of their older titles, with an initially announced focus on StarCraft, Diablo II, and Warcraft III.^[1] Prior to release, the original StarCraft and its expansion were both made free to download and play.^[2] The remaster features redone visuals and sound assets while still using the same engine as the original, which allows for cross-play compatibility across both versions.

It received favorable reviews upon release, with many critics praising its success in updating the visuals while leaving the gameplay unchanged.^[3]
