Star Wars Jedi: Survivor gets massive free update, available now

There have been so many great games released this year. Any other year and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor could very likely have been one of the year’s landmark releases. Unfortunately, by the time we reach the year end awards, I do wonder if it’ll get lost under the hype for Starfield, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Jedi: Survivor features a thrilling main story, although its side missions could do so with some serious work. In our review, we wrote, “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an exceptional sequel, improving on every gripe fans had with Fallen Order while adding countless new features in that'll keep players engrossed for a long, long time.” It’s undoubtedly an improvement upon its predecessor, even if it may not end up being a GOTY contender. If you are still enjoying exploring the planets of Coruscant, Koboh, Jedha, Nova Garon, and Tanalorr, you’re going to like what the game’s latest update has to offer.

Take a look at Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in action below.
