Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is getting its biggest patch yet
EA and Respawn Entertainment have released the biggest patch yet for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on all platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.
EA said that patch 7 “makes overall improvements to quality and performance modes” on console, while its PC counterpart leads the way by adding NVIDIA DLSS support.
PS5 and Xbox Performance Mode received a complete rework that disabled Ray Tracing to ensure stable 60fps performance among other improvements. Other technical improvements have also enhanced quality mode across both consoles and added support for variable refresh rate on PS5.
PC users, who faced the brunt of Jedi: Survivor’s technical issues at launch, can also enjoy changes to the save system that help prevent save game corruption, various crash fixes, and more. The full patch notes can be seen below.
Jedi: Survivor launched in April to positive critical reception and commercial success, but some users were still left with a broken copy of the game, even after a big day of downloading. The studio released a lot of patches in the weeks following launch, though it kept quiet for a while as it supposedly worked on this larger performance-boosting update.
In our review of the well-run 9/10 version, IGN said, “If Respawn makes a third game like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, it will complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years.”
