Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is getting yet another update since its launch which looks to improve the game’s performance and overall experience for players on PC and console. Here are the full Star Wars May 9 update patch notes.

Despite being one of 2023’s most anticipated titles, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s performance didn’t get the best reception upon release. While the new combat stances and beautiful planets to explore went down well, unfortunately, the game’s performance let the title down for many in the community.

The issues impacted both PC and console players, as even those on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S reported frame rate drops and other graphical glitches.

That said, Respawn Entertainment are clearly dedicated to getting Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s performance where it needs to be, as they were quick to release a patch shortly after launch. Now, the devs are releasing yet another patch, so here’s the full Star Wars Jedi: Survivor May 9 update patch notes.

Is there a Star Wars Jedi: Survivor May 9 update release time?

The Star Wars Jedi: Survivor May 9 update will arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on Tuesday, May 9, while the PC patch will arrive “as soon as possible this week.” We don’t have official release times for these updates, but the devs recommend that players stay updated via the EAStarWars Twitter page.

Patch 4 for #StarWarsJediSurvivor arrives on consoles on Tuesday, May 9. Patch 4 on PC will deploy as soon as possible this week… stay tuned for updates.
