Will Star Wars Jedi: Survivor be available on Xbox One and PS4?

Regrettably, players using last-gen consoles such as Xbox One and PS4 will not be able to play Jedi: Survivor, and it is unlikely that the game will ever be available for both of the platforms. The exclusion of these consoles from the game’s release had been widely speculated, but confirmation came in the form of an interview with the game’s director, Stig Asmussen, in the March 2023 issue of PLAY magazine, where he explained that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is exclusively designed for current-gen consoles.The reason behind Star Wars Jedi: Survivor not being available on Xbox One and PS4 is due to the superior technology of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Respawn Entertainment wanted to create a game without being limited by the older platforms’ capabilities.

With access to faster processors, larger memory, and faster loading times of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the game will offer a more technologically advanced experience.

According to Stig Asmussen, the director of the game, the new technology has allowed them to create larger maps, more detailed environments, greater NPC variety, and overall higher fidelity. While it may be disappointing for fans without a current-gen console, it seems to be the right step in creating an evolved next step from the original game.

Who is the Sith in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?

The identity of the Sith in Jedi: Survivor remains unknown, but fan theories are emerging. The prevailing theory suggests that the character seen in the bacta tank in the trailers is also the Sith who fights Cal in the teaser, as both appear to have a missing limb. However, the identity of this character is still subject to speculation, with some suggesting it could be a previously thought dead villain from Fallen Order, Taron Malicos, although this theory doesn’t quite add up.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Release Date

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Story in a Nutshell

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor follows the story of Cal Kestis, five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as he continues to evade the Empire’s pursuit to eliminate the last remaining Jedi. The game will maintain the presence of BD-1 as Cal’s loyal companion while he forges new alliances in his journey. However, the game’s tone is expected to be darker with Cal facing numerous adversaries. Game Director Stig Asmussen has stated that they had a vision for Cal’s adventure in the sequel even before completing Jedi: Fallen Order. The game will feature advanced technology to create more dynamic Jedi combat and cinematic storytelling, showcasing Cal’s growth and survival during the dark times.
