The Pressure Received’t Be With You

Respawn Leisure has issued an apology to PC gamers for the state of the desktop version of latest launch Star Wars Jedi: Survivor — The assertion was issued this weekend after a torrent of complaints rolled in from gamers on Steam, decrying the RPG’s vital bugs, frequent crashes, and usually unoptimized nature.

Along with the above issues, the infamous challenge of DRM has risen its head as soon as once more, locking some gamers out underneath the mistaken perception that that they had the sequel booted on a number of PCs directly. In a latest report from the techheads over at Digital Foundry, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was bestowed the questionable title of “Worst AAA PC port of 2023 to this point”, complaining of framerate drops, texture stutter, and an absence of assist for software program comparable to DLSS and XeSS.

“We’re conscious that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor isn’t performing to our requirements for a proportion of our PC gamers, particularly these with high-end machines or sure particular configurations,” begins Respawn’s assertion, issued to Twitter. “Whereas there isn’t a single, complete answer for PC efficiency, the crew has been engaged on fixes we imagine will enhance efficiency throughout a spectrum of configurations.”

“We’re dedicated to fixing these points as quickly as potential, however every patch requires important testing to make sure we don’t introduce new issues. Thanks for understanding and apologies to any of our gamers experiencing these points. We are going to proceed to watch efficiency throughout all platforms and share replace timing as quickly as it’s accessible.”

Launching on April 28, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor acquired excessive scores from many critics, praising the journey’s characters, fight, and expansive worlds. Whereas it’s greater than seemingly that many of those reviewers performed the PS5/Xbox Sequence X editions of the sport, the excessive reward will solely add additional sourness to PC gamers, who should now anticipate Digital Arts and Respawn to make good on its promised “weeks” of patches and updates.
