Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is one of the most anticipated sequels of the year, and though most reviewers have a lot of good things to say about it, its PC performance isn't quite there yet.
I’ll have a Jedi Survivor review up later but right now I can say that it’s a great game that you should absolutely avoid if you’re playing on PC (for now, at least). The port is a total mess, namely awful FPS performance that cannot be improved through any settings changes 1/2
YouTuber Skill Up said in a tweet that the game suffers from serious frame rate issues. They said that the Jedi: Survivor struggled to reach 60fps on a RTX 4090 and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, which is the best GPU currently available. As you'd expect, that's far above the specs of the average Steam user according to its monthly survey. They also said that the game's CPU and GPU utilization seems stuck at 30% on their computer, indicating poor optimization. Skill Up also said that the game has a major audio bug that affects every cutscene.

Now Playing: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Review — Fear Itself
PC Gamer also reported performance issues, stating that cutscenes often run at 15fps, and that the game's open world sections struggled to meet 35fps on an RTX 2080 Super. What's most concerning here is that all of these sources are reporting that fiddling with the graphics options doesn't seem to help these frame rate woes at all. As such, PC players may have to wait and hope that the scheduled April 28 patch will improve things across the board.
