STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ (PS5, XSX, Steam, Epic) - early 2023

My understanding of the state of the game is that the PC version is completely fucked, it had all kinds of performance issues on high end hardware and has bugs about losing progress and shit. Do not buy on PC.

console versions are ok, quality mode is visually much better than performance. If you do use performance mode, you won't get a steady 60 fps but it drops to 40 fps sometimes. You will get screen tearing in performance unless you have a VRR TV (LG OLEDs etc) and turn on VRR, but you need to enable VRR for unsupported games in the PS5 user interface for it to work properly. Quality mode is stuck at 30 fps but has ray tracing on consoles and is supposed to be really good, but you are stuck at 30 fps.

The day 1 patch hasn't hit PS5 yet either, dunno if its certification issues or what but it is on xbox and fixes the HDR issues, there are ways to fix HDR on PS5 though i guess?

"Some have fixed by going into console HDR settings and ensuring the 3rd screen for black levels is not set at minimum. Even just upping it 1 has fixed it entirely."



i'm gonna pick up and play anyways

Performance isn't too terrible on AMD hardware. It definitely needs another patch though, as it's using 99% GPU (and about 95% VRAM) but only about 35% CPU and 20+GB of RAM. I get about 45 fps on average which is enough for Freesync to cover up. Changing settings really didn't do anything so I just left everything on High (motion blur, film grain, and chromatic abomination off). FSR 2 helps a lot though, and I couldn't tell the difference in image quality between Quality and Balanced so I left it on Balanced for the extra frames.

I notice texture pop-in and LOD problems much more than I do the performance, especially in cutscenes. On the positive side, I had zero crashes last night and ultrawide worked great without having to mess with anything.

Edit: I checked for a new Adrenalin driver like a dozen times yesterday, then forgot at midnight when I started playing. Noticed AMD did release one this morning so I just installed it and loaded up the game. Running around Rambler's Reach right now I'm getting 50-55fps, which is about 8-10 better than I was getting when I stopped playing last night. Still a bit of hitching now and then though, obviously GPU drivers alone aren't going to fix all the game's problems.

Edit 2: Just cleared Sodden Grotto (the mine near RR where the first sidequest is) and it was solid 60 fps the whole way through, even the Rancor fight at the end.

Game is fine on Xbox Series X and I'm running on the 'pretty' setting, not the 'fast' one. There was one place in an open area with water where the graphics grew noticably sluggish but otherwise it's fine. Quite enjoying the plot so far.

yeah played 4 hours today on PS5 and got to 2nd planet and zero issues, game is running smooth, no noticable FPS issues or stutter or bugs or crashes. Playing at Jedi Master level, everything was super easy until 2nd boss which was a little tougher but not bad at all (there are 2 more harder difficulty, one of which I think only unlocks at NG+).

Its more jedi fallen order, and better. If you liked that game this is fantastic. If you hated that game this will not change your mind in any way. As a Star Wars superfan I am splooshing out, no spoilers but just tons of cool lore wrapped in from clone wars, prequels, mando, etc. Really just loving running around in a star wars world after Andor and Mandalorian, I am gonna rewatch Clone Wars I think soon.

I am playing with performance mode OFF (so "quality"), my LG says its running at 59 fps but I assume its really 30 fps. I don't really notice any issues, its still patch 1.002 on ps5 I might switch to performance mode after patch 1.004 but honestly I don't really see a need.

I know the PC version is beyond fucked so thats a bummer but ps5/xbox seem ok, outside maybe a few bugs with 1-2 collectibles.

tl;dr ps5 version is better than xbox series X version right now just a tiny bit although i'd wait to see the DF analysis

Dont forget the upgrades you can buy with the various tokens you can find. I seem to have fucked up somehow as I'm running around with 4-slot perks and I only have 3 perk slots...

Runs fine on my pc, looks great with RTX and everything cranked and plays better/tighter than first game. Finding stim upgrades still a massive pita.

sure...

Eh, it's 'fine'. Not great by any means, but it's playable and whatever problems it has don't affect the combat at all. I'd be a little pissed if I paid $70 for it, but that was never even a consideration when EA Play Pro exists.



50 fps with Freesync 2 + Enhanced Sync doesn't detract much from the gameplay. Plus it's normally right around 60, just that running around town at ~40 fps drags the average down a lot.

Just finished Act 2 (they don't specify them...but it's clearly the second of three logical acts).

I may take a break before I go through Act 3, especially with a ton of skillpoints to be found at the various side-quests and exploration stuff.

Minor plot specific spoilers
