Jedi Survivor Patch Notes – May 2 Update

I have mixed feelings when I hear about patch notes. While it's great that some issues are addressed, it's always a mystery why so many AAA games are broken in the first place. Unfortunately, no Force user could have helped Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to be without technical issues. If it's any consolation, developers are aware of that, so we have updates coming that will fix everything, eventually. Here are Star Wars Jedi: Survivor patch notes so you know what problems are resolved.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor May 2 update

On release day, the day one patch added various fixes to PC that didn't come to Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5. The May 2 patch today adds those in. As for PC, all we know officially is that the May 1 and 2 patches have added "Performance improvements for non-raytraced rendering." I don't know what that means, but I'm hoping it boosts framerate because I'm tired of getting 25 FPS, even after trying various fixes.

We hope everything will be ironed out so we can focus on defeating Bedlam Raiders, Imperial Troops, and Bounty Hunters. And some Force users, but we're not going to spoil anything!
