Summary
Star Wars Jedi: Survivorwill be getting PS4 and Xbox One versions. The sequel to thehighly-acclaimedStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderwas released exclusively to current-gen consoles in early 2023 to the dismay of many previous-gen owners. While the gameplay has remained largely the same, game director Stig Asmussen mentioned in an older interview that Respawn was headed straight to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S to take full advantage of those systems' superior processors and memory.
However, while Xbox Series X/S and PS5 owners rejoiced with the much-awaited sequel, PC owners weren’t as happy.Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s PC portwas a buggy mess that performed poorly and had massive frame rate dips rendering it nearly unplayable at launch. Time has passed, and the team has rolled out multiple patches to smooth out the gameplay, yet the concern about whether the game’s optimization was properly handled.
RELATED:Why The Third Star Wars Jedi Game Being in Development is No Surprise
In what seems to be a surprise move by Respawn and Electronic Arts, the development of last-gen versions ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivorfor PS4 and Xbox One are currently in the works. During an earnings briefing by EA, it was announced that developer Respawn is in the early stages of bringing the game to the said consoles. While no further statements were made regarding any changes between the current-gen and upcoming last-gen versions, many fans are excited to learn about this news.
Even with the ongoing development announcement, Respawn has mentioned that it continues to fortify and optimize the existing PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.Star Wars Jedi: Survivoris currently on patch 6.5, with its numerous fixes and improvements. Ideally, once Respawn irons out the issues plaguing the current version, then that could serve as the basis for the PS4 and Xbox One releases.
Another issue to resolve would beStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s massive file size. It’s very rare for older consoles to have games reaching more than 100 gigabytes. While some games likeRed Dead Redemption 2, Final Fantasy 15, orCall of Dutygo past that mark, it is a rare instance. While the hope is that optimizing the game for older consoles would help reduce bugs and frame rate issues, many fans may want to expect the experience to be largely the same. At this early stage of development, previous-gen console users may only speculate on what will be, but there is a huge chance thatJedi: Survivormay retain the great experience thatFallen Orderprovided when it launched back in 2019.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivoris currently available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
