The highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched on April 28, but it soon found itself squashed between player complaints and fan backlash. Steam and Reddit communities are full of players’ comments describing multiple issues they have been facing in the game. Some gamers are facing low FPS and stutter issues even after having running the game on specifications higher than the officially recommended hardware by the publishers.
With so many performance issues faced by gamers, Jedi: Survivor now has a Mostly Negative review rating on Steam. At the time of writing, the game had 66% of negative reviews out of a total of 1792 reviews on its Steam page.
A Steam review of the game by user STENLY has been marked helpful by many gamers. It states:
RTX 4080, i9-13900KF, 32GB 6000 DDR5, latest drivers on Win 11. I can get around 30 fps. Amazing.
A Reddit user faced an “Unexpected error” in the game that caused them to skip through plot parts without seeing them, leaving them to either continue in a broken game state or load a prior save and hope it would work the second time.
Many users stated that the performance issues disappeared once they moved into a new area in the game. There are users who did not face performance issues, called themselves fortunate, and praised the game.
According to many reports, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has enormous VRAM requirements. An NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti was unable to run the game in 4K, mainly due to VRAM limitations. Internet has labelled it another VRAM-hungry PC game.
The game is facing issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X too, and EA has released a day one patch for the game which addressed several of the performance issues. The publisher announced that more patches are coming in the next weeks.
