While the game will surely turn out to be great for its fans, its makers are really focusing on how they can make it feel breathtaking on the PlayStation 5 when it eventually comes out.

Recently, Respawn’s Stig Asmussen, who’s the director of the first entry as well as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, discussed the upcoming title during an interaction. He was speaking to StarWars.com regarding the next installment as part of the ongoing SWCA 2022.

When he was asked about how they are using the power of next-gen consoles like PlayStation 5 to make the sequel better, he had this to say:

“So I think the biggest thing is ray tracing, or lighting. That’s allowing us to do real-time lighting, all the time, at a fidelity that’s well beyond anything that we’ve ever produced before.”

Adding further, he also said that his team is working on utilizing the power of PlayStation 5 with its fast storage. Along with that, they are also focusing on harnessing the excellent haptics on the DualSense controller.

“The fact that these consoles have such PlayStation 5 has some really interesting haptics on their controller that we’re digging into, and it’s just an easier process in general.”

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will release in 2023 exclusively for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
