MagyarOnly 720p on PS5: Star Wars Jedi Survivor graphics modes tested in new video ↺
Respawn Entertainment’s latest triple-a title, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, has had a rocky start to say the least. Some reviews have criticized the Unreal Engine 4-based action game for its numerous technical flaws, many of which are also found in the console version for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Therefore, prospective buyers of this game might want to check out Digital Foundry’s comprehensive tech analysis on YouTube in order to avoid the dreaded buyer’s remorse.
The in-depth tech review video takes a closer look at the two different graphics modes of Star Wars Jedi Survivor on consoles, and enthusiasts will be surprised to see that the game’s performance mode features a fairly low resolution on PS5. Specifically, the game is rendered at resolutions raging between 648p and 864p, but AMD’s FSR 2 technology is employed to upscale the image to a more appropriate 1440p. However, frame rates in this graphics mode are also disappointing as Jedi Survivor is unable to hold a stable 60 fps and can drop down to 45 fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
According to Digital Foundry, the resolution mode of Star Wars Jedi Survivor fares a bit better and is able to provide a more consistent 30 fps experience on PS5. Image quality is also noticeably sharper in this graphics mode as the game is rendered at up to 1440p and subsequently upscaled to 4k. However, gamers without a VRR-compatible TV might still get distracted by some frame drops and the corresponding tearing during busy scenes. Overall, Star Wars fans should cross their fingers that the California-based developer will eventually improve the rather underwhelming technical implementation of its latest game on consoles as well as the PC.
Patch 1.03 brings slight performance improvements for Jedi Survivor on PS5
After the largely negative feedback from gamers and reviewers, EA has released a corresponding update for Jedi Survivor earlier this week. Unfortunately, these minor tweaks do not seem to make a big difference in terms of performance and image quality, which is illustrated by a new comparison video on YouTube.
