Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a brand-new $70 release, but it will almost surely make its way to subscription services at some point, and how EA handled the original may suggest how it treats the sequel.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has received mainly favorable reviews thus far and has been recognized as one of 2023’s most significant new gaming releases, despite the fact that its launch hasn’t gone as smoothly as some might have hoped.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has had some performance issues, particularly with the PC port of the game. Respawn has already released a patch to address some of the most severe flaws with the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PC adaptation, but more work needs to be done.
Some Star Wars fans may elect to wait until all of the game’s issues have been resolved before purchasing it or until the pricing is correct. Others will be able to avoid buying Star Wars Jedi: Survivor entirely and instead wait for its release on Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus.
There is no certainty that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will ever be available through Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, but it appears exceedingly improbable.
After all, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is presently available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and it was also one of the January 2023 free PS Plus games. One has to believe that the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on Game Pass and PS Plus is a matter of when, not if.
When Will Jedi Survivor Be on Game Pass?
At the time of writing, EA had not announced plans to add Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, although odds are the game will ultimately appear on one or both services.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is unlikely to be added to the vanilla edition of Game Pass, but it is a virtual certainty that it will be added to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier of the service at some point.
For the uninitiated, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the most expensive version of Xbox Game Pass currently available. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which costs $14.99, ensures that customers get their money’s worth. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate get not just everything that comes with vanilla Game Pass but also access to the PC Game Pass catalog, special rewards, and all the privileges associated with Xbox Live Gold.
If you play on Xbox consoles frequently, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate almost pays for itself. If you’re excellent about completing Microsoft Rewards activities on a regular basis, you can basically receive it for free perpetually.
Access to the EA Play catalog of games is one of the exclusive benefits connected with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier of the Game Pass membership. EA Play is EA’s version of Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus.
For a price, gamers receive free trials for brand-new EA games as well as access to the company’s extensive library of titles. EA introduces almost all of its games to EA Play, including its most popular tags. EA, for example, brings major sports game releases to EA Play roughly six months after they initially hit retail shelves, though the timing isn’t as constant with non-sports games.
It’s only a matter of time before EA brings Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on EA Play/Xbox Game Pass Ultimate; thus, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor may do the same. About a year after its initial release, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was added to EA Play/Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
If Star Wars Jedi: Survivor follows a similar path, players can expect the game to be available on subscription services around this time next year. It may happen in April 2024, but a more appropriate date appears to be May 4, 2024, given that day is already firmly identified with the Star Wars brand.
When Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available on PS Plus is a little more tricky. Although EA Play is accessible on PlayStation, it is not included with PS Plus. PlayStation gamers might sign up for EA Play and gain access to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on the same day as Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers do, but it’s also possible that the game will be added to the PS Plus Extra tier later on.

Alternatively, there’s a potential that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will become one of the monthly free PS Plus games in the future, but fans will have to wait much longer for that to happen.
Using the original game as an example, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was not made available for free on PS Plus until January 2023, four years after its initial release date. The game was most likely added to the schedule to promote Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, so fans may see the sequel hit the monthly free PS Plus titles in the same timeframe or around the time the third game is released, providing such a project is successful.
For the time being, the only method to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is to purchase it. Fortunately, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has already been lowered, and more discounts are sure to follow, so fans won’t have to pay the total price to experience Cal Kestis’ latest adventure.
