EA has announced the official PC requirements for the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor which are expected to give players an adventure they won’t forget in a long time. However, the requirements may prove to be a hindrance and a potential roadblock for gamers intending to play the game on their computers.
Storage Requirements
The storage requirements for the game are among the most demanding in the industry, rivaled by only a handful of other games. The Jedi: Survivor has a massive 155GB of required storage capacity, a size that will undoubtedly take up an extraordinary amount of space on most computer hard drives. Should the requirements remain unchanged, gamers will likely have to find some additional storage space on their drives or upgrade to larger drives to make adequate room for it.
Comparison to Other Games
Other games requiring vast storage space include Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, which has a storage requirement of 180GB, and Red Dead Redemption 2, with 150GB storage. Despite this, the Jedi: Survivor lies in the upper ranks of storage capacity required, topping heavyweight games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, with 125GB storage, and Final Fantasy XV, with 100GB storage.
System Requirements
Fortunately, the general system requirements of the game aren’t too heavy, with just a few specifications required to get the game running. Players will require a Windows 10 64-bit operating system, at least 8GB of RAM, and a graphics processing unit (GPU) capable of withstanding the game’s requirements. The recommended GPU is the Nvidia RTX 2070, or AMD Radeon RX 6700XT, with the option of using less powerful GPUs such as the Nvidia GTX 1070 and AMD Radeon RX 580.
Minimum System Requirements
- A Windows 10 64-bit operating system
- At least 8 GB of RAM
- AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i7-7700
- Radeon RX 580 or Nvidia GTX 1070, 8GB VRAM
- 155GB storage capacity
Recommended System Requirements

Release Date
Despite the high demand on computer storage, the game has created considerable excitement among gamers, and its release date of April 28, 2022, is highly anticipated eagerly. The game will be available on Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. For the latter, Respawn Interactive has integrated a few new and innovative haptic feedback ideas in the game that will take players on a new level of nuanced gameplay.
Conclusion
The PC requirements released by EA for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor have created quite a stir in the gaming community. While the hardware requirements for running the game are relatively modest, high storage requirements may discourage interested gamers whose computers’ storage capacity falls below the mark. Nonetheless, the hype surrounding the game appears undeterred, and we can expect a fantastic adventure into the Star Wars world when the game releases later this month.
