In a press release, Respawn confirmed that the PS4 and Xbox One port of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available starting September 17. EA CEO Andrew Wilson announced last August during an earnings call that a PS4 and Xbox One port of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was in development. Both versions will retail for $49.99, and Respawn touts that these ports will “feature a variety of optimizations aimed at maximizing the hardware capabilities of the consoles.”
In addition, the developer confirmed that a new update for the PC version of Jedi: Survivor will be available “in the coming weeks,” teasing that the update will improve the game’s technical performance and controls while also introducing a slew of quality-of-life improvements. Respawn continues to support the PC version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, panned by players at launch due to performance issues.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released in April 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Set five years after the events of 2019’s Jedi: Fallen Order, the sequel focuses on Cal Kestis and his friends as they fend off the Empire.
Despite its shortcomings for the PC version at release, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was met with critical acclaim. At the 2023 Game Awards, it was nominated for Best Action/Adventure Game, and Cameron Monaghan was nominated for Best performance for his portrayal of Cal Kestis. Additionally, IGN awarded Jedi Survivor as its Best Action Game of 2023.
In our review of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which we gave a 9/10, my colleague Dan Stapleton wrote: “If Respawn makes a third game like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, it’ll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down.”
