STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ PC Hardware Guide
Official requirements explained
The official minimum asks for a four-core, eight-thread CPU, listed as an Intel Core i7-7700 or Ryzen 5 1400. The GPU needs 8GB of VRAM, with a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 580 as the reference. It also lists 8GB of RAM and 155GB of storage, and does not require an SSD. In today's terms, the RX 580 and GTX 1070 are 1080p-class mainstream cards that are now quite dated, and the Ryzen 5 1400 is a very early entry-level chip. The minimum will get the game running, but there is not much headroom.
The recommended tier keeps the same four-core, eight-thread CPU class, listing an Intel Core i5-11600K or Ryzen 5 5600X. The GPU is 8GB of VRAM, referenced as an RTX 2070 or RX 6700 XT, and RAM goes up to 16GB. The RTX 2070 is also a 1080p-class mainstream card, and the Ryzen 5 5600X is close to a modern mainstream chip. The gap between the two tiers is mainly CPU generation, GPU performance level, and doubled memory.
The publisher does not list a higher tier or any resolution targets beyond that, so anything above 1080p is something you will need to judge yourself. Both tiers ask for 155GB of storage, so leave some extra room for patches.
No more demanding tier is listed for either the GPU or CPU.
Recommended builds for three budgets
The entry build suits players who want smooth 1080p play on a tight budget and are fine with low to medium settings. Good GPU choices include the RTX 3050 8GB, RTX 3060 8GB, RX 6600, RX 5700, or Arc A580, paired with a CPU such as the Ryzen 5 4500 or Core i5-10400F. This combination should land roughly at the official recommended level, with 16GB of RAM as the baseline.
The mainstream build fits most players aiming for stable 1080p at medium to high settings, or higher resolutions with upscaling. The RTX 3060 12GB, RX 6650 XT, or Arc A770 16GB are sensible GPUs, with a Ryzen 5 5500 or Core i3-12100F as the CPU. Again, 16GB of RAM is the baseline. The extra VRAM on 12GB-plus cards gives more room for high-quality textures.
The high build is for players who want high settings at higher resolutions or plenty of headroom over time. Options include the RTX 4070, RX 7800 XT, or RTX 4070 Super, with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Core i5-13600K, or Ryzen 7 9700X. Consider 32GB of RAM so multitasking stays smooth.
Graphics settings with the biggest impact
In open, effects-heavy action-adventure games like this one, the settings that usually cost the most are shadow quality, volumetric lighting and fog, depth of field range, reflection quality, and any ray tracing options. Shadows and volumetrics often load both the GPU and CPU, so dropping them to medium is usually a good first move, and the visual difference is often small.
If you want to keep the look, prioritize texture quality and anti-aliasing. Textures mostly drive VRAM use, and lowering them quickly makes distant scenery and main characters look soft. View distance and crowd or simulation density are also common heavy hitters, and you can adjust them to match your hardware.
Upscaling options such as DLSS, FSR, and XeSS are a general way to reduce GPU load. They render at a lower internal resolution and reconstruct a sharper image. If your card supports one, start with a quality preset and adjust from there.
Laptops and handheld PCs
A laptop GPU does not perform like the desktop card with the same name. Laptop versions are usually limited by power caps and cooling space, so the same name can deliver noticeably less in a thin chassis. When comparing against the official requirements, judge the specific laptop's power and cooling rather than the model name alone. Long sessions on a poorly cooled laptop can also cause throttling.
Handheld PCs such as the Steam Deck or ROG Ally have different hardware from desktops. We have no verification data for the Steam Deck, so we cannot give it a rating. In general, handhelds do best at lower resolutions and settings, with upscaling and power limits enabled. Start conservative and adjust based on battery life and temperature.
For either laptops or handhelds, keep vents clear, and use a performance profile while plugged in for more consistent results.
Storage and memory
The official minimum asks for 8GB of RAM and the recommended tier asks for 16GB. In practice 16GB is a comfortable baseline, and 32GB gives more room if you also run a browser, streaming software, or other large apps. If your motherboard supports it, install memory in dual-channel configuration for better bandwidth.
Both tiers list 155GB of storage. Leave extra space for patches and any mods you add. The publisher does not require an SSD, but an SSD noticeably shortens load times and reduces stutter during area transitions, so it is strongly recommended. The game will still run from a hard drive, but loading and streaming will be slower.
