Summary

  • Star Wars Jedi: Survivor coming to PS4 and Xbox One on September 17 for $49.99, offering fans on last-gen consoles a chance to enjoy Cal Kestis' journey as well.
  • EA confirms its Dual Entitlement offer, allowing players to upgrade Survivor to PS5 or Xbox Series X/S in the future for a seamless experience if they do current-gen hardware.
  • A PC version of the game will also receive updates to enhance technical performance, controls, and quality of life improvements in the coming weeks.

The latest entry in Cal Kestis' story, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, is coming to last-gen consoles. Respawn Entertainment's title launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on April 28, 2023, and was largely well-received by critics. Despite a rocky launch with performance issues and bugs, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was praised for its story, exploration, and gameplay, with a variety of new gadgets, Force techniques, and combat tactics - including a blaster and lightsaber combo - for players to utilize.

Considering the aforementioned bugs players were already experiencing on current-gen hardware, many were surprised when EA announced Star Wars Jedi: Survivor would be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in an earnings call in August 2023. The first title in the series, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, launched on these platforms - and received a free update for the next generation of consoles when they were released - so with Survivor's last-gen launch, players should be able to enjoy both entries in Cal Kestis' journey without the pressure of buying a new console.
