Not to be outshined by the new Star Wars game on the way from Lucasfilm Games, Ubisoft, and Massive Entertainment, the acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is getting a new update today. It's no new DLC or anything like that but rather a quality-of-life update that aims to optimize the experience for Jedi (and Sith alike) playing on next-gen systems, the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
Since arriving in late November 2019, which was a whole different world, players everyone have had a chance to get to know protagonist Cal Kestis and follow along with his Force-attuned journey aiming to rebuild the Jedi Order in a galaxy far, far away. You, too, can "fight for your survival, explore the mysteries of a long-extinct civilization, and become a Jedi" in the action-adventure title from EA and Respawn Entertainment, now with new optimizations!
