Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Addresses PS5 Pro Performance Issues

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor publisher EA has issued a statement regarding the game’s performance issues on Sony’s new flagship console, the PlayStation 5 Pro. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is one of the many triple-a titles experiencing graphical glitches on the console, but the game’s publisher has now said that it is aware of the issues and is actively investigating.

Although the PlayStation 5 Pro’s graphical issues aren’t just tied to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, it’s the latest performance-based problem to plague Respawn Entertainment’s successor to 2019’s Jedi: Fallen Order. After launching in 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Jedi: Survivor was flooded with negative reviews, largely due to the poor performance of the game on PC. While the game is in a much better state now (albeit not for everyone), thanks to numerous updates from Respawn, the sequel is now being affected by graphical issues on the PS5 Pro.

EA Addresses Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Issues on PS5 Pro

In Digital Foundry’s latest YouTube video, the channel discovered that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor runs much worse on the PlayStation 5 Pro. While in Performance Mode, Digital Foundry noted that there were some serious graphical issues, such as texture flickering, largely down to the console’s new PSSR technology. Thankfully, the game’s publisher has issued a statement via Twitter, saying that it is aware of issues with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on the PlayStation 5 Pro and is actively investigating. While it’s unclear how long it will take for this issue to be resolved, fans can rest easy knowing that the studio is working to deploy a fix.

Various other titles are also being affected by the PlayStation 5 Pro’s PSSR feature, which uses artificial intelligence to upscale textures with more detail for a sharper image. For example, various Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are reporting issues on the PS5 Pro, with the console’s PSSR feature reportedly causing the game to have a “shimmering” effect when in 60 FPS mode.

Gamers have also been begging Konami to fix Silent Hill 2 on the PlayStation 5 Pro, as the popular horror remake supposedly performs much worse than it does on the standard PlayStation 5. Despite the store page for Silent Hill 2 stating that it is enhanced for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the game’s Quality mode still only targets 30 FPS, unlike games such as God of War Ragnarok, which offers the best visual settings while targeting 60 FPS. Users also noticed that when in Performance mode, there is a strange shimmering effect on some surfaces.

The story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor™, a third person galaxy-spanning action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.

As one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, Cal is driven to make a stand during the galaxy’s darkest times – but how far is he willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the legacy of the Jedi Order?
