Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Patch 7 Works Towards Much Needed Performance Improvements

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor may have released to fairly high reviews from critics (including ourselves), but the player reception hasn’t been as positive. The discrepancy is mostly due to the problematic performance of Respawn Entertainment‘s anticipated sequel. Across both PC and current gen consoles, there have been numerous reported issues with the technical side of Jedi: Survivor.

After nearly two months of downtime since the last update, and an announcement that work had begun on a last-gen version, Patch 7 has finally hit and aims to bring the Star Wars experience up to the community’s expectations. The main focus of the patch highlights the continued work on console performance, but the PC hasn’t been left out. The big win for PC players here (at least, Nvidia GPU owners) is that DLSS has finally been implemented, meaning a decent performance boost from the AI rendering solution is likely ready to alleviate some of those performance woes.

Read on for the full patch notes for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor‘s Patch 7.
