Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Has A PS4 And Xbox One Port In The Works

Hot on the heels of the launch of Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Gamecomes Star Wars: Unlimited, one of Fantasy Flight Games’ biggest titles for 2024. Polygon had a chance to play the game ahead of its release at this year’s Gen Con, and what we found is a punchy little TCG with great potential. In fact, it reminds me a lot of modern Star Wars video games.

Baldur's Gate 3 is seemingly the latest high-profile release to launch with an incomplete set of credits.

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for June, and it was a very healthy month for the industry – the 2nd biggest June ever in fact. Players spent $4.7 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in June, a 9 percent year-on-year increase. After the Switch surged back to #1 in May due to the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, PS5 was back on top last month – this was PlayStation’s biggest June in terms of hardware sales since 2008.

The Payday 3 Steam page has been updated to show that the upcoming FPS game from Deep Silver and Starbreeze will incorporate Denuvo Anti-Tamper. It comes after one Payday 3 developer confirmed that the shooter will require players to constantly be connected to the internet, even when playing alone. With the Payday 3 release date shortly set to arrive, the game is expected to launch using Unreal Engine 4, before switching to UE5 at a later date.

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are currently in the “early stages” of development, publisher Electronic Arts said during its earnings briefing today. A release date was not announced.

Despite several technical issues at launch, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is successful, with Electronic Arts touting “millions of players.” In its  Q1 2024 earnings call (as reported by IGN), it announced that Respawn Entertainment was bringing the action-adventure title to Xbox One and PS4. The port is in the “early stages of development” and a release window wasn’t provided.

Ubisoft knows its way around compelling open worlds, but Star Wars Outlaws is shaping up to be one of its biggest and most densely detailed yet. As previously announced, each planet in the release will be fully explorable, with enough open space to give you a meaningful sense of adventure. And the French publisher is handcrafting every one: there’s no procedural generation.

Ever wondered what kind of nightmarish, extraterrestrial smoothy you could whip up with the disgusting liquids that barbarian Luke Skywalker was always chugging down? It might not actually taste that bad; as dedicated fans well know, George Lucas had a bad habit of making things sound worse than they actually are (see "Jizz" as an example of this, the specific kind of space-jazz employed by the Max Rebo band).

In some circles of videogameland it's common wisdom that more is better⁠—I remember a quaint time when 30 hours was a «long» game, but today's big budget releases have been pushing that boundary well into the triple digits. In a recent interview with IGN, though, two Star Wars Outlaws devs promise to buck that trend with a «dense» and «rich» game that doesn't wear out its welcome.

In a recent interview, developers at Massive outlined the size and scope of Star Wars Outlaws stating that the title is «not a 200 or 300-hour epic unfinishable RPG.» 

While Ubisoft’s last few releases have been more miss than hit, the future is slightly better, thanks to titles like Star Wars Outlaws. Developed by Ubisoft Massive of The Division fame, it’s an open-world third-person shooter starring Kay Vess, who pursues the scoundrel lifestyle across numerous planets.

Despite its open world, Star Wars Outlaws won't be a «300 hour epic unfinishable RPG». Phew.
