A new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor patch has finally gone live on PC, introducing performance improvements and a variety of other tweaks and fixes that should improve the experience considerably.
The PC patch, which is now live on both Steam and the EA app, brings a variety of improvements, including updated occlusion behavior for ray tracing, updated streaming budgets that address traversal stuttering issues, performance improvements for some VFX, and more. The patch is around 1.75 GB big for the EA app version, so it is not a massive download. In case you missed the patch notes, you can find them here.
While the technical issues on all platforms damage the experience, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is still a more than worthy game to get for fans of the franchise and of the previous entry in the series, as the new game improved on the formula in pretty much every way while offering a compelling narrative, as highlighted by Kai in his review.
While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a surprise journey when it was first released, the time spent apart hasn’t made Cal Kestis’ adventures any less enjoyable. A similar framework in unfamiliar territories helps to establish Jedi: Survivor as a quality sequel to the original release. Jedi: Survivor still plays it safe in comparison to the prior game. It may be difficult to give Jedi: Survivor full marks for its individuality, but compared to the predecessor focused on Cal’s time as a Jedi Padawan, each title can stand up on its own merits, and Jedi: Survivor polishes up much of the experience as it propels the narrative ever forward on Cal Kestis’ journey to Tanalorr.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S worldwide. Respawn will continue working on fixing the game in the future with more patches, so stay tuned to be among the first to learn how the popular game will improve in the coming weeks.
