Star Wars Jedi: Survivor dropped late last week, with fans of a galaxy far, far away now having a good weekend to get stuck into EA's latest franchise entry. It doesn't appear to have been the smoothest launch of all time, but critics were very impressed with what Respawn Entertainment delivered in its sequel to 2019's STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order.
We're looking at a mid-80's Metacritic score right now, so, has that tempted you to pick this one up on Xbox? If you've been playing it on Xbox Series X|S, how has your experience been so far?
We took a good look at the game across both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in our recent Jedi Survivor comparison video and came away largely impressed - especially across both 30FPS options on the two consoles. We only played through the opening few hours, but it sounds like PC players are suffering the most with bugs and glitches right now.
Having said that, some Xbox players have encountered a major save error that's halting game progress in some instances, so certain issues are shared across systems. Have you run into anything like this? Or have things been smooth for you so far?
Tell us your early impressions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor down in the comments section below!

I plan to get it just not yet ....and To be honest I can't rip myself away from dead island 2 yet
I think I'll wait for a game pass release on this one. I thought the first one was wicked though so i am looking forward to the sequel
I'll probably play someday when it's like $5. I liked the first one well enough.
I refuse to buy Games at Launch these days as I don't believe ANY game is worth paying over £50 at most for it. I am not 'desperate' enough for something to play that I have to buy a Game at launch that is 'generally' at its 'worst', least amount of Content/Features etc and its most expensive.
Therefore I had NO intention of buying SW:JS and have a LOT of other games to play - either in my Backlog (inc Last gen and older games) or on Game Pass. Just because SW:JS is 'new', doesn't mean all other games are 'obsolete' and not worth my time...
I'm waiting for a heavy discount. I'm not very excited for this game or Star Wars in general.
Haven't bought it yet, but I plan on it when it's discounted.
Edit: I legitimately didn't think this was a common sentiment, but here we are.
I have had no crashes or save issues on Series X. The framerate does drop at times. But it's playable and enjoying it.
Was super excited excited for it and picked it up. I'm playing in performance mode and there's been some dips in the open world portion but nothing that's really effected my enjoyment. I don't think I could play this game in quality mode with the parrying & combat how it is. They really built an amazing world with this game, it's impressive to just look at. But yeah the performance dips can be annoying aren't anything like Pokemon SV or BOTW, I've not had any during combat really which would be a deal breaker, just exploring the open world particularly when you first enter it. Also certain doors in the hub world taking a few seconds made me chuckle a bit. I've only had one crash so far and it was after 6-7 hours. We'll see how it fares further into the game.
@BAMozzy are you trying to convince me or yourself lol? Just wondering what's up with the speech you're giving about it.
I'm surprised people haven't blamed the Series S for the buggy launch.
It won’t work at all on my one x really disappointed ☹️
@GalacticBreakdown I am not trying to convince anyone - just stating my OWN opinion. If you are happy to buy games at launch, pay the asking amount, that is up to you - its your money...
There was no 'speech', I was just stating my reasons for not yet playing this. Its far from 'perfect' as you yourself have noticed and I won't pay more than £50 for ANY game - even if it was 'Perfect' at launch. If you do, that's your choice but I CHOOSE not to because 'no' game is worth that much just to be amongst the 'first' to play it. No doubt it will be on EA Access in 6-12mths and I can play it then at no extra cost to myself - no doubt patched, better optimised and not likely to 'crash' etc.
I must be lucky as I’ve not had any issues yet. In fact, after trying out both graphics modes I stuck with the 30fps/quality mode which is very smooth. Enjoying the game so far.
Playing on Series S and weirdly enough looks to be the most stable performer of the consoles and PC. Respawn are hardly R* when it comes to game engine optimisation but this launch has come in pretty hot with EA likely rushing this one. I'm about 10 hours in and really enjoying the game so far. The Qol features are significant enough over the first game that I am happy with the £52 I paid online. The content upgrade and expansion of features and character interaction is quite significant too. I have had a couple of crashes to the dashboard and some pop in on texture streaming in Koboh but the fps has been solid and I have not noticed any drops.
I can see why some players may want to wait for patches or a sale, for me it's more about time than money. If I buy things at launch I usually finish the game in 2-6 weeks and it keeps my backlog down, freeing up precious time. The exception to the 2-6 week rule is games like Persona or Xenoblade because they are 100+ campaigns.
Performance is lacking on PC, though very playable.

@Sebatrox yes this time next year the fully patched game will be on EAplay
seems you actually get inferior version game when you pay more and cant wait
It's not bad. I'd give it a 7.5 so far, if only a few hours in. Haven't hit any of the technical problems I've heard so much about.
I’ve been enjoying it since launch and surprisingly haven’t had any issues, no bugs, no glitches, no crashes and everything seems just fine, however I’m playing in quality mode as there’s no point in playing in performance mode currently as there’s only a 10-15 FPS difference but the image takes a severe hit in resolution.
I played the first 27 minutes of Fallen Order on Friday. I think I’ll play through that game (though I’m not sure how dedicated I will be to it in the near future), see if I end up liking it, and keep an eye out for a sale just in case. It’s a fun start, reminds me of Uncharted so far, which I like.
im sure its a good game but i want more shooty games, too much hack n slash games lately. im talking about single player games.
I've refused to pay $60-80 for an unfinished game and released it's the norm for the next gen releases nowadays. (Not all studios do that) but it's EA.
still waiting for it to go to game pass...
Oof the frame rate dips are noticeable and annoying. I’m normally not particularly phased by dips and although I play with VRR I have never been bothered by tearing. But it’s rough. If you dip low enough for me to notice you got some issues
Playing on PC.
Crashes before yesterday's patch: 0
Crashes after yesterday's patch: 3

No. I'm playing Fallout 4 atm. Will prob give this a look when it goes to EA Play. No games have been a day 1 purchase for me for a long time. Not sure why? My gaming time has become less and less recently. Heck I haven't even bought a game since January.
I will likely pick it up for my birthday in June. Hopefully by then the bugs and such are ironed out
I am Loving this game!!! I have had no issues on my Series X and I have been playing Day 1. The game is beautiful. Easily 10/10 game!!
