Respawn Entertainment has confirmed that it will be releasing a new patch for the PC version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor “as soon as possible” this week. According to the patch notes, which the developer shared in advance, idle time stalls for ray tracing have been reduced, and while it’s unclear how much of a positive effect this might have on the game’s performance when ray tracing is enabled, traversal hitching has also been addressed with streaming improvements to smooth out movement between map locations. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s latest patch is scheduled to roll out today, Tuesday, May 9, to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
