Recent details on the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor suggests that its file size might be significantly smaller on the Xbox Series S than its Series X counterpart. With a little less than two weeks away from its official launch, Respawn's next release has garnered significant excitement among the fanbase. While the developers haven't shied away from sharing extensive details about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the game's expected file sizes paint an interesting picture on the scale of what to expect.Following the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in November 2019, the story around Cal Kestis has grown to be one of the most beloved entries in the franchise in recent years. Interestingly, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was almost not a Jedi game as Respawn had to convince Lucasfilm to allow the studio to have a Jedi as a playable character, according to Director Stig Asmussen. Fortunately for Star Wars fans, the game proved to be a massive success prompting an even more ambitious sequel in the form of Jedi: Survivor. According to recent posts, the file size for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will reportedly come to 44 GB for the Xbox Series S while the Series X version will be at 139.08 GB. This means there's a 95 GB difference between the two versions of the game. While the massive file size for Jedi: Survivor on PC has already been revealed, Respawn is yet to comment on the storage expectations for the Xbox consoles, though it's most likely this variance stems from the lack of 4K content on the Series S. While a near-100 GB difference is still an unusually significant gap, a 44 GB file size may come as welcome news to those looking to grab the game for the Series S.
Of course, only time will tell how the highly anticipated sequel will actually take shape. But if the game's file sizes are anything to go by, fans can expect to find Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to be a much more expansive experience compared to the 2019 title. Updates from the developers, along with the preview version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor strongly suggest this is indeed the case.
It's worth noting that while the upcoming title is only less than two weeks away, the developer has already expressed interest in developing a third entry to Cal's story. Interestingly, Respawn also has a Star Wars FPS game in the works, which will likely accelerate following Jedi: Survivor's launch. Either way, it's shaping up to be an interesting time to be a Star Wars fan in 2023.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launches on April 28, 2023, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
