As described above, the main focus of this patch is to improve the single-player campaign experience on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Rather than working off PS4 Pro and Xbox One X presets as it had been doing before, the game now features fully customized rendering options for the latest hardware from Sony and Microsoft. The fps cap boost from 45 to 60 will offer a measurable improvement in gameplay flow, especially for a title like Fallen Order that's so incredibly combat-heavy. The next-gen improvements should provide an optimal experience both in regard to visuals and gameplay. In short, those on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles should finally be able to experience Jedi: Fallen Order with a degree of fidelity comparable to higher-end gaming PCs.
What's perhaps most interesting about this implementation, though, are the listed differences between the two platforms. On PS5, it would appear that players no longer have a choice between fidelity and performance like they did on PS4 Pro, and, instead, can only play the game at 1440p/60.
On Xbox, on the other hand, the two graphics modes remain with a visual preset that features a dynamically scaled 4K image. This configuration of options is somewhat similar to the one employed by CD Projekt RED in Cyberpunk 2077 that offers multiple presets for Series X and not PlayStation 5. While this difference may have something to do with how backwards compatibility functions across platforms, it's worth noting that both Jedi: Fallen Order and Cyberpunk 2077 have benefited from marketing partnerships with Microsoft.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
