“Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” will launch on PS4 and Xbox One on September 17, as announced by publisher Electronic Arts this Tuesday. Originally released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X in 2023, the action-adventure game has expanded to previous-generation consoles. Players can now place pre-orders for “Jedi Survivor” on these platforms.
Respawn Entertainment, the game’s developer, confirmed that the PS4 and Xbox One versions would include various optimizations to maximize the hardware’s capabilities and ensure optimal performance. This focus is crucial given the game’s initial technical challenges on newer platforms.
To entice early buyers, Respawn offers exclusive in-game cosmetics to those who pre-order the game for last-gen consoles. These efforts reflect the developer’s commitment to delivering a high-quality experience across all game versions.
In addition to the console launch, Respawn has planned an update for the PC version of “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.” This upcoming patch aims to enhance technical performance and controls and add several quality-of-life improvements.
EA had first mentioned the PS4 and Xbox One versions of “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” during an earnings call in August of the previous year, noting that development was in its early stages.
“Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” which continues the saga of Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he evades the Empire, builds on the success of the 2019 game “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.” The game’s extension to previous-gen consoles is part of EA’s strategy to reach a broader audience, addressing the needs of players not yet upgraded to the latest gaming systems.
