Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a game that was highly praised as an action-adventure title in a year filled with memorable games, is set to make its debut on last-gen consoles in September. This means that players with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will soon have the opportunity to embark on Cal Kestis’ Jedi journey in the game’s second chapter.
What’s even more exciting is that the last-gen version of Jedi: Survivor will be available at a reduced price of $50, as opposed to the $60 price tag on PC and the $70 price tag on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (although discounts are often applied to these versions). Players who pre-order the last-gen version will receive special in-game items, including an Obi-Wan Kenobi-inspired hermit robe and Combustion Blaster sets.
In addition to the upcoming release on last-gen consoles, the PC version of Jedi: Survivor is also receiving an update to address technical performance issues, controls, and other quality-of-life improvements. While the game has seen improvements on the PC platform since its initial release, there is still room for further enhancements to be made.
It will be interesting to see how Jedi: Survivor performs on last-gen consoles, especially considering that even on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, there were initial framerate challenges. However, the decision to release the game on older hardware opens up the opportunity for a new audience to experience the game’s unique gameplay and story.
In a trend seen in the current console generation, more publishers are making an effort to bring their games to older hardware to cater to players who have not yet upgraded to the latest consoles. While these ports typically take around a year to develop, some games, like Hogwarts Legacy, have successfully made their way to the Nintendo Switch, demonstrating the potential for cross-platform releases.
Overall, the arrival of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on last-gen consoles presents an exciting opportunity for fans of the franchise to dive into a new chapter of the Jedi saga at a more affordable price point. With updates and improvements planned for the PC version, players can look forward to a more polished and enjoyable gaming experience across all platforms.
