Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is doing pretty well in sales, topping charts in the United States for April while becoming the second biggest physical launch in the UK (third, now, thanks to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom). Patches continue to roll out, though, with the latest going live today for PC.
PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players can expect the same improvements in a later update. Some of the PC-exclusive features of the patch include reduced hitching to improve content caching, improved thread handling when ray tracing is disabled, and more. Pre-order and Deluxe Edition content should be accessed more reliably, thanks to more “robust” detection.
Also, Drya Thornne will no longer become invincible, so that’s nice. Check out the rest of the patch notes below, which include fixes for collision, stability and performance issues. Additional patches are in the works, so stay tuned for more details. You can also read our official review here.
