Star Wars Jedi Survivor platforms
Star Wars Jedi Survivor is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Game director Stig Asmussen said that next-gen features, such as real-time ray tracing, have allowed Respawn to work "at a fidelity that's well beyond anything that we've ever produced before." The decision to drop support for PS4 and Xbox One meant that Respawn could reduce load screens and times, and invest in DualSense haptic feedback support on PS5.
Star War Jedi: Survivor is also now available on EA Play, and therefore PC and Xbox Game Pass (EA Play is included with any Game Pass subscription), so if you're subscribed to any of these services, you can play the game at no extra charge.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor priorite shards are found all over the place on Coruscant and Koboh, and you’ll need them if you want to trade with Doma – perhaps you should spend them on the Star Wars Jedi Survivor mysterious keycode to unlock an extra room in Doma’s shop.
You might have stumbled into the Star Wars Jedi Survivor Rancor boss quite early on Koboh. It has some brutal attacks that make it a formidable boss to face – definitely one to return to later once you’ve got Cal some new powers.
You should seek out the Star Wars Jedi Survivor abandoned shack on Koboh as it leads into a subterranean area with some great items inside – notably a map upgrade that reveals certain collectibles! Be warned though, this area is quite a challenging.
