Originally released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in April 2023, the action-adventure game set in theStar Warsuniverse was ported to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One less than two months ago. Developer Respawn Entertainment is still working to release patches for the game, with aStar Wars Jedi: Survivorupdate from Octoberspecifically targeting gameplay improvements on last-generation console versions.

A more recently releasedStar Warsgame,Ubisoft’sStar Wars Outlaws, is also on that list, though that game’s news page doesn’t have any details on what specific enhancements the PlayStation 5 Pro brings to that game.
