It is unclear what sorts of issues would those patches address, but looking at the reviews and news reports, patches would largely be focused on fixing PC performance issues. In recent times, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s PC version was reported to be infected with a myriad of problems by multiple people who got their hands on the game early.

Most of the community is aghast at the fact that despite the six-week delay it’s taken for the title to launch, the developers were not able to fine-tune the game. Many were left wondering why are they even releasing the game if it is not ready for release. They are of the opinion that this is an anti-consumer approach from EA. To some, a further delay did not seem bad at all if it meant that a fully optimized game would see its release.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an action-adventure game developed by a Sherman Oaks, California-based studio, Respawn Entertainment which is known for developing games like Apex Legends, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and the Titanfall series. The game is scheduled for release on April 28 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.
