Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was one of the most popular games of last year for its thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying gameplay experience. And while the game had already received a patch optimizing it for next-gen consoles, it will soon be getting native next-gen versions built for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. No release date has been revealed yet but you should expect them to arrive this summer.
Existing owners of the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order can rest assured that free upgrades to the next-gen versions will be made available once they are out. Among other things, they can expect several technical improvements to form part of the new package.
Through a post on the official Star Wars site, the makers said, “Coming this summer, we’re excited to announce the next-gen release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, bringing a number of technical improvements to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S console versions of the game. This will be a free cross-generation upgrade to current owners. More details will come soon.”
From similar updates that have made their way to other games, we can guess that the native next-gen versions of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will offer improved resolutions and framerates. Plus, ray tracing and enhanced graphics could also make their way into the much-loved game.
The latest Star Wars game is set five years after the events of Revenge of the Sith. Its story follows Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis who is being hunted by protégés of Darth Vader as part of the Imperial Inquisitors program. Titanfall and Apex Legends makers Respawn Entertainment were responsible for the development of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
