We had a great time with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor when it arrived earlier this year, but let's be honest, the technical performance wasn't great. The game's performance mode, which targeted 60 frames-per-second at a reduced resolution, was inconsistent, and it even struggled to keep it locked to 30 if you used the quality mode. Today, Respawn Entertainment has just released a new patch that aims to smooth out a lot of these issues.
Available to download and install now on PS5, the update's main focus is on the game's performance. According to the official site, performance mode has been «completely reworked to substantially improve player experience». Various optimisations and the deactivation of ray tracing means this mode should be much smoother with the patch installed.
Elsewhere, quality mode has also received «optimizations to help reduce FPS fluctuation», and the game now supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) on PS5. The patch also targets save data corruption issues and squashes a few bugs and crashes.
