Yahoo News Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's new patch addresses bugs and performance issues
Like a number of big-budget titles in the last decade or so, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released to a wave of backlash from players over technical issues like bugs and poor performance.
In Survivor's case, there are issues with both the console (PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X|S) and PC versions, with the latter coming under particularly heavy fire for its problems.
On April 30, the companies behind the game — Electronic Arts, Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games — issued a statement of apology and promised patches were coming imminently.
