Respawn Entertainment has announced that Patch 8 for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The new update, which comes exactly three months after the previous patch, adds a number of new accessibility features to the action-adventure game, including a high contrast mode and new slow motion presets. It also includes “some fixes for performance and stability,” although Respawn did not provide specifics in its patch notes.
Patch notes:
- A new high contrast mode allows players to desaturate the environment and use colors specifically for narrative and gameplay elements, making them stand out more.
- A new audio ping functionality allows players to both passively and actively ping the environment, giving the ability to echolocate objects and interactable elements nearby.
- This update includes additional slow motion presets. With this new implementation players can toggle between both their own custom value and three new presets.
- The presets are set at 30%, 50% and 75% and available through the shortcut menu. This will allow users to switch between multiple different slow motion values, and not just the custom value and the default game speed.
Game description:
The story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a third-person, galaxy-spanning, action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. This narratively driven, single-player title picks up 5 years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal’s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness. Pushed to the edges of the galaxy by the Empire, Cal will find himself surrounded by threats new and familiar. As one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, Cal is driven to make a stand during the galaxy’s darkest times — but how far is he willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the legacy of the Jedi Order?
