The new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor patch brings plenty of other gameplay fixes, such as collision and navigational improvements to prevent issues where characters get stuck out of bonds, music fixes for issues that made two different tracks play at the same time, improved sync for sound during one of the cinematics, progression fixes and more.

Despite the many technical issues that plagued the game, which are thankfully getting fixed quickly enough, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is among the best games released this year. The new entry in the series expands the formula introduced by its predecessor in every possible way, resulting in an extremely enjoyable experience, as highlighted by Kai in his review.
While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a surprise journey when it was first released, the time spent apart hasn’t made Cal Kestis’ adventures any less enjoyable. A similar framework in unfamiliar territories helps to establish Jedi: Survivor as a quality sequel to the original release. Jedi: Survivor still plays it safe in comparison to the prior game. It may be difficult to give Jedi: Survivor full marks for its individuality, but compared to the predecessor focused on Cal’s time as a Jedi Padawan, each title can stand up on its own merits, and Jedi: Survivor polishes up much of the experience as it propels the narrative ever forward on Cal Kestis’ journey to Tanalorr.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S worldwide.
