Today, Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts announced the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor patch 7. This major update aims to address many of the performance issues across both PC and consoles. Additionally, as you can read below from the changelog, the PC version is getting official DLSS support.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Patch 7 introduces several performance-related improvements on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, including:

Performance mode has been completely reworked to substantially improve player experience.

A number of GPU and CPU optimizations – along with disabling Ray Tracing – has resulted in a better player experience, including a solid 60 FPS in Performance mode. 

Quality Mode has also received optimizations to help reduce FPS fluctuation and introduce other visual improvements.

Variable Refresh Rate support added for PS5

Additional performance & optimization improvements for PC, including DLSS support.

Save system tweaks to help prevent save game corruption

Fixed issues where players could not retrieve their XP after dying under certain circumstances.

Various crash fixes

Various bug fixes & improvements across all platforms, including fixes for cloth, lighting, and UI.

As you'll probably remember, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is one of those AMD-sponsored titles that only included FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 at launch. Thankfully, modder PureDark added DLSS 2 (Super Resolution) and DLSS 3 (Frame Generation) support, massively improving both performance and image fidelity. Now, with the native DLSS 2 Super Resolution implementation, that part of PureDark's mod won't be needed any longer, though owners of RTX 40 Series GPUs will still be interested in the Frame Generation mod to achieve higher frame rates.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched on April 28th, garnering widespread acclaim despite the aforementioned performance issues. The game earned an 8.3/10 score in Wccftech's review penned by Kai.

While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a surprise journey when it was first released, the time spent apart hasn’t made Cal Kestis’ adventures any less enjoyable. A similar framework in unfamiliar territories helps to establish Jedi: Survivor as a quality sequel to the original release. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor still plays it safe in comparison to the prior game. It may be difficult to give Jedi: Survivor full marks for its individuality, but compared to the predecessor focused on Cal’s time as a Jedi Padawan, each title can stand up on its own merits, and Jedi: Survivor polishes up much of the experience as it propels the narrative ever forward on Cal Kestis’ journey to Tanalorr.
