Star Wars Jedi Survivor free update available to download right now

A new patch for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available now, fixing some of the game's most prevalent bugs and glitches.

When Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released, it was met with a lot of praise for its story, environments and introducing fun new gameplay mechanics like lightsaber stance switching. However, it also faced a lot of criticism, largely due to its poor performance across platforms, as well as several bugs and glitches that severely affected people’s experience with the game.

While many were ironed out with some post-launch updates, plenty remain to this day, with Respawn working tirelessly to fix all its problems, which are thankfully minor inconveniences now rather than game-breakers, except for one that crashes the game on PC when visiting a particular planet.

A new update has rolled out for all platforms, with several fixes detailed in its patch notes, and the developer has confirmed more will be on the way very soon. One of the big problems fans have been requesting a fix for is strange graphical stuttering, which impacts immersion in the game’s world as well as just being a general annoyance.

Hopefully, the same story isn’t told for the next major Star Wars video game, Star Wars Outlaws. That game is being developed by Ubisoft, and takes place away from the intergalactic war between the Jedi and The Empire, following a new character called Kay Vess, and her strangely attractive droid friend ND-5.

The game will be open-world, and give players free-range over several planets, which won’t be procedurally generated according to the developers. It’s also been noted that the majority of planets will feature bigger maps than another open-world Ubisoft title, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Given how Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is significantly smaller in scale, it’ll be interesting to see if future Star Wars games face similar optimisation and bug problems.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
