Star Wars Jedi Survivor comes out today, but Respawn Entertainment still has a lot of work to do. There are already ‘weeks worth of patches’ announced by EA.
Update – New patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor
EA and Respawn Entertainment have released a new patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor. The update is currently only for PC and should improve performance on the platform. A patch should also be released for the PS5 and Xbox Series X later today.
Earlier this year, it was decided to delay the release of Star Wars Jedi Survivor by six weeks. The reason for that was to give Respawn Entertainment more time to polish the game. The studio just needs more time to properly finish the new title.
EA announced via Twitter that the first patch is ready today, with several updates in the coming weeks. That is also not without reason. Although Star Wars Jedi Survivor is well put together in terms of gameplay and story, the performance of the game is not optimal.
Major patches needed for PC version
In our review we already mentioned that the performance on the PlayStation 5 leaves something to be desired, but the PC version of the game in particular still needs a lot of work. For example, the game takes up a lot of VRAM, so a PC with a very expensive Nvidia RTX 3080 TI in it cannot play Star Wars Jedi Survivor at 4K.
In addition, the power of the video card is not used optimally. According to the German SamaGame, it was not possible to achieve 60 FPS with an RTX 4090 at 1440p. The power of the video card was only used for 35 to 60 percent, while only 4 CPU threads were used out of the available 24!
