2023's most underrated Star Wars game is coming to Xbox Game Pass

One of 2023's most underrated Star Wars games, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, is making its way to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Developed by Respawn Entertainment, Star Wars Jedi Survivor is easily one of the best single-player Star Wars games out there, right alongside the likes of Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefront, but it was overlooked by the majority of players last year.

The biggest and probably the only reason why the game did not get picked up by many players was its technical polish or lack thereof. Despite being exclusively developed for current-generation hardware, Jedi Survivor failed to deliver a steady framerate and stability across all platforms.

However, Respawn did update the game quite a lot of times, addressing several issues players faced at launch. And with the game coming to Xbox Game Pass, it might be the perfect time to jump into Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is coming to Xbox Game Pass later this month

According to the recently released official blog post from Xbox, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, the critically acclaimed but technically troubled title from Respawn Entertainment, is heading to Xbox Game Pass on April 25, 2024. The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC via Xbox Game Pass and EA Play membership.

Jedi Survivor, despite its rather rough launch, ended up gaining quite a bit of traction among fans, especially those who played and enjoyed Respawn's previous Star Wars title, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order.

The game follows the story of Cal Kestis, who is still on the run from the Empire. The story sees Cal hop from planet to planet in a desperate last-ditch effort to safeguard not only his future but also that of his friends. The sequel, much like its predecessor, is built as a semi-open-world that players can explore separate from the main storyline at their leisure.

Similar to the previous title, Star Wars Jedi Survivor aims to deliver a challenging but ultimately satisfying combat experience, with a soulslike progression loop and a variety of weapons and armor sets to find. Additionally, the game has received multiple updates since its release back in June 2023, improving performance significantly.

Although the performance on Xbox Series consoles is acceptable, PC performance still leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest issue Star Wars Jedi Survivor's PC port still exhibits is stuttering and frame-pacing, something that is most prevalent in the game's open-world segments.

Players can remedy framerate issues with the use of DLSS or FSR, but that doesn't eliminate stuttering and frequent frame-time fluctuations.
