While Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was praised for its story and design on launch, the game had a fairly glitchy release, particularly on PC. Digital Foundry even went as far as to call Star Wars Jedi: Survivor "the worst triple-A PC port of 2023 so far".
However, EA has steadily been making good on its promise to improve the game since that time, with more updates promised for the future.
And, despite the need for these various fixes, the game has done well. Thanks to digital downloads, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor's UK launch sales were over 30 percent greater than those of its predecessor, Fallen Order. The developer has since committed to bring Jedi: Survivor to PS4 and Xbox One.
"Over the coming year, we will harness the community's passion and capitalise on key Star Wars franchise moments to drive continued engagement for this incredible game," EA said in August.
