If you were planning on buying Star Wars Jedi Survivor boxed on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to play it on launch day, you’re going to be disappointed.
We are entering the home stretch of the month with THE big video game release of April 2023, the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi Survivor from Respawn Entertainment. A sequel that promises to be more spectacular than its predecessor at all levels.
The Power of the Internet Connection in Star Wars Jedi Survivor
Star Wars Jedi Survivor will be available this Friday, April 28, 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and if you missed any info, our friend Camille has prepared an article “Know everything about Fallen Order 2 before the release”. But since this weekend, information has been circulating the Web and will disappoint lovers of the physique. And especially those who have a struggling Internet connection.
Mighty Ape, New Zealand’s largest retailer, received their Star Wars Jedi Survivor palettes on consoles and posted a photo to let their customers know. A snapshot that allows you to observe the jacket which reveals a very important detail. At the bottom left, we can read “download required” or “mandatory download”. This means that even if you get the boxed game, you will need to download files that are not on the blu-ray disc. It’s not clear yet, but given the size of Jedi Survivor, it could be huge.
The title weighs in fact close to 150Go on PS5 and Xbox Series X, but the capacity of blu-ray used by next-gen consoles is limited to 100GB. Since Star Wars Jedi Survivor only has one disc, the download could therefore be at least 50GB on these machines. And this is the most optimistic estimate. When it was released, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 had broken records since it was impossible to play it without an Internet connection and for good reason. On the blu-ray, there were only files with a total weight of 72.23Mb while the full game was around 100GB. In summary, except for the object, the physical version was totally useless. To see if Star Wars Jedi Survivor will go that far…
A sequel that wants to break everything
With Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Respawn Entertainment wants to push the envelope by offering more epic combat, a storyline that will honor the Lucasfilm franchise, an even larger world that can be explored up and down and across via mounts, and also an ultra advanced customization of the lightsabers. And these are obviously only a few examples of the improvements promised by this sequel.
If returns and sales are strong, a Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order 3 should be released within the next few years. During an interview, director Stig Asmussen said he saw it as a trilogy.
I always wanted to see this as a trilogy. How can we take Cal and the other characters to new places beyond what we did with the first game? We had a pretty clear idea of when we wanted Survivor to take place, the stakes, the tone, what Cal was going to be up against, and how the rest of the crew was going to fit into that set. . And we also have ideas for what we could do after Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

The future of the Star Wars license will also be written, and unsurprisingly, with new films and series like Ashoka and three new feature films, some of which are already divisive.
