biggest-update-yet-for-star-wars-jedi-survivor-adds-dlss-improves-console-performance

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor just got what EA says is its largest update yet. According to the publisher, it improves performance on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, adds DLSS support on PC, and fixes numerous bugs.

Performance mode on Xbox and PlayStation have been completely revamped. The patch introduces new GPU and CPU optimizations, and disables ray-tracing, which enables the game to run at 60fps in Performance mode. However, cinematics on console are locked at 30fps. Quality mode also got some upgrades, which should reduce frame-rate fluctuations and improve visuals. Additionally, PS5 got variable refresh rate support.

As for PC, the patch adds official DLSS support. As you may remember, EA partnered with AMD for the original PC launch of Jedi: Survivor. Previously, the game was only compatible with AMD's DLSS competitor FSR 2. A modder released a DLSS-style patch for the game which greatly improved performance. With this patch, Jedi: Survivor has now native DLSS 2 support.

The patch should also resolve certain issues with progression. The save system has been altered to prevent save file corruption. An issue where you could not pick up XP after death has also been resolved. Finally, the patch implements various crash fixes and improvements, including fixes for the appearance of cloth and lighting, as well as UI issues.

Jedi: Survivor launched to general praise, but also with a wide variety of technical issues especially on PC. The game will also launch on PS4 and Xbox One at some point in the future. Below are the full patch notes, which you can also find on the Jedi: Survivor official website.
