Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is almost here, and fans are getting their pre-downloads ready, or preparing to journey out to grab physical copies at midnight. However, players’ preparations may not be done then. Players may have to prepare for a day one path as well, adding a bit of time before they can play.
Day one patches are a usual, though sometimes frustrating, aspect of gaming anymore. Changes made in between the game’s pre-download prep, or between the time the game’s physical copies shipped and its release can be added with a day one patch. Usually, these are smaller stability and bug-fix changes.
This guide will walk through whether or not Jedi Survivor will have a day one patch, and how much it will affect your ability to get into the game.
Will Jedi Survivor Have a Day One Patch?
Yes, there will be a day-one patch for Jedi Survivor.
While the size of the day one patch hasn’t been confirmed, a conservative estimate would put it at 5-10 GB. Players should note that there will be slight differences in the patch size for each version of the game.

While this isn’t unexpected, it could prove to be a bit of a pain for players with physical copies who hoped to play offline. The day-one patch is required to play the game, even for physical copies. While players can play offline after the patch is downloaded, they will have to be connected at least for the day one patch.
Day one patches are necessary and useful, but it may not always feel that way for those who prefer physical copies or don’t have a stable internet connection. Still, the added stability and reduced bugs are always important when displaying a published product, and it’s hard to fault developers for trying to make the game run as well as possible up until the game’s release.
