Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is, unfortunately, the latest in the seemingly unending stream of bad PC ports. Performance is poor, even on the highest-end machines, leading to the game picking up a “Mostly Negative” user score on Steam. Well, thankfully, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor developers Respawn Entertainment aren’t blind to the complaints, issuing a statement and apology to PC players. That said, they also warn there’s no magic bullet solution to the game’s issues on PC.
“We are aware that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor isn’t performing to our standards for a percentage of our PC players, in particular those with high-end machines or certain specific configurations. For example, players using cutting-edge, multi-threaded chipsets designed for Windows 11 were encountering problems on Windows 10 or high-end GPUs coupled with lower-performing CPUs also saw unexpected frame loss. Rest assured, we are working to address these cases quickly.
While there is no single, comprehensive solution for PC performance, the team has been working hard on fixes we believe will improve performance across a spectrum of configurations. We are committed to fixing these issues as soon as possible, but each patch requires significant testing to ensure we don’t also introduce new problems. Thanks for understanding and apologies to any of our players experiencing these issues. We will continue to monitor performance across all platforms and share update timing as soon as it is available.”
While the PC is the major problem platform for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the game isn’t perfect on consoles either, with Performance Mode being a particular sticking point.

Despite the game’s issues, Wccftech’s Kai Powell still found the game to be a solid, if not exactly groundbreaking, experience in his full review…
“Cal Kestis’ latest journey, this time to seek out a long-lost Jedi stronghold on Tanalorr, should feel intimately familiar to fans of Jedi: Fallen Order. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor builds upon the successes of the original title but could do more to stand up on its own merits.”
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available now on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5.
