PSA: Your Copy of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Might Need a Big Day One Download

ign.com:

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has a complicated day one update situation that might mean users have to download a hefty patch whether you're on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, or PC.

EA announced on Twitter (below) that it's releasing a day one patch for Survivor that addresses some performance issues, but some PC players are reporting colossal file sizes. Even some players who pre-loaded the game on Steam are reporting a launch day update of up to 128 GB.

EA also released patches throughout the week before launch, meaning that, depending on when users pre-loaded, there might be some updates that were missed. IGN's day one update on PC came in at 46.5 GB, for example, and while this is a lot less than some PC users' experience, it's still a hefty addition for those looking to enjoy the game on launch day.

Those who have pre-loaded the game on PS5 and Xbox Series should have the smoothest experience, as the day one patches here are only a few GB each (though there may also be a mid-week patch to download too that adds a few GB).

Buying Survivor on disc is a completely different story, however, as a significant download is required before users can start playing the game. This is because the file sizes of the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of Survivor exceed the 100 GB that can be stored on the Blu-ray discs used for games.

The PS5 base install size is 147.9 GB while the Xbox Series X is 134 GB, with the remaining data being added to the game
