Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One on September 17, 2024. Although it was one of the most anticipated action releases of 2023, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor had a somewhat troubled launch. The optimization issues on PC and current-gen consoles had fans and critics saying the game was not ready for release, although many of these issues were fixed in patches months later.

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were both announced for Jedi: Survivor a few months after its release, shocking fans because of the sheer scope of the 140+ GB game. Many gamers assume most new releases can run fine on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series systems, but Jedi: Survivor had trouble across the board with optimization, so a release on older hardware has sounded like more trouble than it's worth. Respawn Entertainment has a chance to prove gamers wrong.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set for a September 17 release date, EA and Respawn have announced. The game will sell for $49.99, prioritizing optimization to the limited hardware. Additionally, the game's PC version will get a patch that enhances performance and improves quality of life features. Gamers who still aren't ready to make the jump to current-gen tech have voiced their excitement about the release. These fans last heard news about the PS4 and Xbox One releases of Jedi: Survivor when it was rated in Brazil, highlighting that it would be arriving on the systems after all. Soon, these fans will be able to see if the wait was worth it.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Gets PS4 and Xbox One Release Date

There remains some apprehension surrounding this release. Although the game came out in 2023, some critics said it needed at least another year in the oven, and that was for the newer hardware. Some players who experienced Jedi: Survivor when it was riddled with bugs are still skeptical that the PS4 and Xbox One can handle the game without severe drawbacks. Many are curious about whether it will remain as large, and what a change in file size might highlight about changes made to the overall game.

There's a chance this could end up like the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1, which had gamers pointing out the drastic discrepancies between face models when shown side by side. This version of Jedi: Survivor will likely sacrifice the high resolution and framerate that newer consoles boast, opting to maximize performance in any area possible. Some gamers are confused as to why last-gen hardware is still being supported four years into the current console cycle, although specialists tend to suggest that the more advanced hardware gets, the less of a gap there may be between each system.
