STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor

STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor is a single-player action-adventure from Respawn Entertainment. Five years after Jedi: Fallen Order, Cal Kestis continues his fight against the Galactic Empire. The story combines lightsaber combat with exploration, climbing sections and environmental puzzles.

Cal is now an experienced Jedi Knight. Together with BD-1, he meets old companions and new allies, while the search for a safe place for the Empire's hunted grows increasingly dangerous.

STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor was released on April 28, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The standalone versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One followed on September 17, 2024.

The versions for older consoles were specially adapted to their hardware. They are not just backward compatibility for the newer versions.

Jedi: Survivor is natively available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. On PC, versions are available through the EA app, Steam and Epic Games Store.

A version for Nintendo Switch was not released. The PC version requires an EA account on Steam and the EA app.

Cal masters several lightsaber stances with different reach, pace and fighting styles. These include dual-bladed combat, a heavy parrying lightsaber and a lightsaber and blaster combination. Your choice of stance changes how you handle groups of enemies and especially resilient foes.

Force powers help in both combat and puzzles. New moves and tools open additional routes through larger areas, which contain optional encounters and hidden finds.

The Deluxe Edition adds cosmetic items for Cal and his gear to the base game. These change neither the story nor the combat stats.

A separately sold Deluxe upgrade is available for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It is not a standalone adventure and requires the base game.

The PC version requires 64-bit Windows 10, at least 8 GB RAM, a graphics card with 8 GB of video memory and 155 GB of free storage. EA lists a GeForce GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 580 among the minimum requirements.

Recommended: 16 GB RAM, a GeForce RTX 2070 or Radeon RX 6700 XT, and an SSD with 155 GB of free space.

The story picks up after Cal Kestis and his companions escape from Jedi: Fallen Order. The Empire continues to hunt the surviving Jedi. A threat from the distant past forces Cal to make new choices about loyalty, responsibility and protecting his friends.

The story can be played on its own. Save files from the predecessor are not carried over to the sequel.

Exploration takes you through separate locations. Recurring routes, new climbing techniques and additional abilities open up areas that can't be reached on your first visit.

Beyond the main story, optional fights, collectibles and puzzle rooms await. Finding these challenges rewards you most for revisiting areas you've already explored.

Cal improves his combat techniques, Force powers and survival skills with experience points. Alongside his gameplay progression, you can customise his appearance, BD-1 and parts of his lightsaber.

The different lightsaber stances each offer their own tactical focus. It's worth combining them to suit your enemies and your preferred pace of play.

Jedi: Survivor is designed entirely as a single-player campaign. There is no cooperative story mode and no competitive multiplayer matches.

Five difficulty levels let you adjust how hard the battles are. A slow-motion feature reduces game speed in battles and in time-critical movement sections.

Controls can be remapped. Subtitles, camera effects, visual display and navigation aids can be adjusted. Additional navigation aids make it easier to find objectives and puzzle solutions.

The PC version offers German on-screen text, German dubbing and German subtitles. Other voice languages are available, including English, French, Italian and Japanese.
