About This Game
Quick Overview
STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor is a third-person action-adventure game that continues the story of Cal Kestis, now a more experienced Jedi trying to survive against the Empire. Compared to Jedi: Fallen Order, this sequel feels bigger and more confident. The combat has more lightsaber stances, the areas are more open, and Cal has more movement options for exploring planets, solving puzzles, and reaching hidden paths.
The main appeal is the Jedi fantasy. You are not just swinging a lightsaber; you are mixing Force powers, parries, dodges, different stances, wall-running, climbing, and cinematic boss fights. It has a strong story focus, but it also gives you plenty of side areas, upgrades, cosmetics, and optional fights to discover. The game released on April 27, 2023 on Steam.
Who Should Play This Game?
You should play STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor if you enjoy story-driven action games, lightsaber combat, exploration, platforming, and cinematic Star Wars adventures. It is a great pick for players who liked Jedi: Fallen Order, but wanted larger maps, deeper combat, and more freedom.
It is also worth playing if you enjoy games like God of War, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, or Sekiro, but want them with Jedi powers and Star Wars worlds. But if you want a fully open-world RPG, character creation, or pure shooter gameplay, this may not be the right game. It is still a focused single-player action-adventure, not a massive sandbox.
Performance on PC
STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor is a heavy PC game. The Steam page lists minimum requirements of Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i7-7700 / Ryzen 5 1400, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 580 with 8 GB VRAM, DirectX 12, and a very large 155 GB storage requirement. Recommended specs include Core i5-11600K / Ryzen 5 5600X, 16 GB RAM, and RTX 2070 / RX 6700 XT.
On a strong modern PC, it can look excellent, but it is much more demanding than many action-adventure games. For smoother gameplay, an SSD is strongly recommended, and players on weaker systems should lower shadows, post-processing, view distance, and texture settings. The game had a rough PC reputation at launch, so even with patches, stable FPS depends heavily on your CPU, GPU, storage speed, and chosen settings.
