Survivor lastly will get a PS4 and Xbox One launch date – WGB

Simply over one 12 months in the past, EA and Respawn introduced that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor would even be coming to last-gen consoles. Now, variations have gotten a launch date.

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor will arrive on Xbox One and PS4 on seventeenth September.

The rationale for the huge time-gap between the sport’s preliminary launch and its last-gen ports is presumably right down to efficiency. Even on the latest {hardware}, Survivor suffered from frame-rate points, particularly on PC. Actually, the superb folks at Digital Foundry revisited the PC model 10 months in the past and described as “nonetheless the worst triple-A PC port of 2023.”

In different phrases, lots of people, together with myself, are considerably sceptical about how nicely the sport goes to run on an Xbox One or PS4. In accordance with the press launch, it’ll have  “a wide range of optimisations geared toward maximizing the {hardware} capabilities of the consoles.” Forgive me if I don’t maintain my breath.

Going again to the PC model for a minute although, EA are promising a brand new replace within the coming weeks. The replace guarantees “enhancements to the sport’s technical efficiency, controls and extra”, together with some high quality of life enhancements, too.

In case you’re questioning why EA and Respawn are intent on porting a recreation backwards, nicely that’s as a result of there’s nonetheless a hell of lots of people nonetheless enjoying on older {hardware}. For instance, half of PlayStation’s month-to-month customers are on PS4s, so it’s hardly shocking the trade isn’t learn to let go but.

Talking of PlayStation, should you fancy some Star Wars in your life you may seize Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as a part of the PlayStation Plus Important plan proper now.
