Star Wars Jedi Survivor Patch Notes 4: from improvements to ray tracing to fixing various bugs, know everything

Respawn and EA Sports announced Star Wars Jedi Survivor patch 4 earlier today, May 9th, 2023, for consoles (launching today) and for PC (later this week). In this new update, Respawn looks to address the game crash issue and low frame rates, even on high-end PCs.

Since its release, the game has had a mixed start. People complain a lot about frame drops and glitches. This new patch is already the fourth update since Jedi Survivor went live on April 28, 2023.

Jedi Survivor is the sequel to Star Wars: Fallen Order and is set five years after Cal Kestice tries to collect all the Jedi remnants to fight the empire.

As previously mentioned, this new patch 4 will fix and improve key elements that will make Jedi Survivor better as a whole. The update will be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S starting today. However, PC users should rejoice, as the bulk of the improvements are aimed at them. Although they will have to wait until this weekend for the update to finally arrive. It will include ray tracing improvements, and moreover, it fixes annoying bugs in the game, including Rayvis getting invisible late in the game. Besides the performance issues, it will also deal with the easier implementation of HDR on the PlayStation 5 console.
