EA and Respawn Entertainment have released the biggest patch yet for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor across all platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.
Patch 7 "makes sweeping improvements to Quality and Performance modes" on console, EA said, while its PC counterpart is headlined by the addition of NVIDIA DLSS support.
PS5 and Xbox's Performance Mode has received a complete rework that has disabled Ray Tracing to guarantee a consistent 60 frames per second performance alongside other improvements. Other technical improvements have also boosted Quality Mode across both consoles and added Variable Refresh Rate support on PS5.
PC users, who faced the brunt of Jedi: Survivor's technical issues at launch, can also enjoy changes to the save system that helps prevent save game corruption, various crash fixes, and more. The full patch notes can be seen below.
Jedi: Survivor launched in April to positive critical reception and commercial success but some users were left with a buggy, broken version of the game, even after a big day one download. The studio released plenty of patches in the weeks following launch, though has been quiet for a while as it presumably worked on this bigger performance-boosting update.
In our 9/10 review of the running well version, IGN said: "If Respawn makes a third game like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, it'll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down."
