Star Wars Jedi: Survivor delayed to 'hit the quality bar'
Developer Respawn Entertainment has been granted extra time to make sure Star Wars Jedi: Survivor hits its high «quality bar». The long-awaited game has therefore been delayed to late April from its original mid-March release date.

The game will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows in the last week of April. Ahead of then, you might want to catch up with its predecessor, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which received a free upgrade to
