Great news for gamers with last-gen consoles – EA and Respawn Entertainment have announced that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 17. This highly acclaimed action-adventure game, previously exclusive to PC and current-gen consoles, will now be accessible to a wider audience.
Acting as a sequel to the popular 2019 game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor follows the journey of Cal Kestis as he encounters a new threat tied to the universe’s High Republic era. With a four-star review upon its initial release in April 2023, I praised the game as a thematically rich, character-driven Jedi tale set in a densely packed 3D Metroidvania world. It has now become the ultimate single-player Star Wars experience.
Originally intended as a current-gen exclusive, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor faced performance challenges on PC at launch. After over a year of continuous patches to enhance performance on all platforms, EA has finally confirmed the development of a last-gen port. This port, priced at $50, will include various optimizations aimed at maximizing the capabilities of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.
Mark your calendars for September 17 as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor releases on PS4 and Xbox One. Already available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, the game is part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate collection on PC and Xbox. Additionally, EA plans to roll out a patch in the coming weeks to improve technical performance, controls, and overall gameplay experience on PC.
