Respawn and EA have just released a new update patch for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, which will address many of the bugs and glitches that have plagued the game at launch. The sequel to 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order finally launched across most major platforms last weekend, earning warm reviews from critics for expanding upon the Metroidvaina-style gameplay and blistering combat of the first installment. Set five years after the events of Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor sees Cal Kestis on a new mission to uncover a hidden sanctuary lost in the days of the High Republic while evading the Empire.While Star Wars Jedi: Survivor garnered plenty of pre-launch buzz for its new lightsaber combat styles and surprisingly deep character customization options, the game’s release hasn’t been without its shortcomings. Continuing a trend that has sadly become all-too-common in recent years, Jedi: Survivor shipped with numerous game-crashing bugs and glitches that have soured the experience for many and resulted in a wave of negative player reviews. The PC port of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor seems to have borne the brunt of these technical issues, but the console releases on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S aren’t immune. Thankfully, EA and Respawn have pledged to address these problems with update patches, the first of which was released on PC yesterday and offered performance improvements for non-raytraced renderings. Now, an expanded patch has been launched for consoles, as predicted by yesterday’s announcement post on the EA Star Wars Twitter account. This update weighs in at 1.17GB and contains several fixes that have already been implemented in the PC version. These will address various graphical issues, the game sometimes crashing when the player skips cutscenes, and a few other reported problems.
One of the biggest issues this latest Star Wars Jedi: Survivor update fixes is a glitch in the Chamber of Duality, where the player could be trapped inside the dungeon and forced to restart the game from the very beginning if they didn’t save their progress beforehand. Other bugs and glitches that players have come across include one where Cal permanently loses XP after being killed by a certain enemy and problems with Jedi: Survivor’s HDR settings. Thankfully, some players have found a workaround to this latter issue by changing a certain setting on the PlayStation 5.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a fun game, but its many bugs could ruin the experience for players, especially when it comes to losing vital progress or experience points. The latest Jedi: Survivor update patch might not address every issue fans have had with it since launch, but it is certainly a step in the right direction for making sure more players get to enjoy the game as Respawn intended.
