Respawn’s follow up to its highly successful Star Wars game is here! If you’re planning to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on consoles, you’ll be glad to know that the game features a slew of options for the various settings available in the game. With that in mind, MP1st is here to help with our Star Wars Jedi: Survivor best settings guide for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Best Settings:

Accessibility

• Shortcut Controls – On – This is a must-have, in my opinion. It replaces the map button with another menu that brings up four other mappable buttons. You can customize those to whatever you want, we reserved two of the slots for the map and photo mode to make it easy to access while in-game, rather than opening the main menu.

Controls

• Control Scheme – Most will keep this at default, but if you want, Star Wars Jedi fully supports custom bindings, so if there is something you don’t like about the controls you can change them here.
• Vibration – 100
• Trigger Effects – On (DualSense controller)
• Disable UI Input Hold – On – I’m impatient, so I prefer button presses to be instant rather than waiting for it to confirm with a hold meter.

Gameplay 

• Dialogue Line Skipping – On – Some characters can be really talkative and we get that not everyone wants to wait for them to finish. Turning this on will let you skip a line at a time.
• Auto-switch target on enemy death – Visible enemies only
• Auto-lock target in combat – Off – We prefer having control over what the camera locks too.
• Button Mash Options – Default or Auto Complete – If you like QTE keep this on, if you don’t, turn it to auto-complete.
• Toggle Hold Pull – Off – The force pull can be finicky at times, and being able to release the button to stop it rather than press it again is easier.
• Navigation Assist – On – The 3D map in Jedi Survivor can be confusing, so having this option on will put an icon to guide players on where to go on the map.
• Camera Lock Follow – We kept this at default.
• Arachnophobia Safe Mode – If you hate spiders, turn this on, otherwise, keep off.
• Human Dismemberment – On – I mean, come on, why wouldn’t you want this on
• Slow Mode – If the combat is too fast for you and you want the game to run in slow motion, well, they have options for that. We kept it off, but it’s there if you need it.

Visuals

• Performance Mode – Off – As we noted in our review, Jedi Survivor performance mode isn’t exactly what we would say is a good experience. There will be patches coming that hopefully address those issues, but until then, we strongly recommend you toggle this off and stick with 30fps quality mode.
• Field of View – Widest – Outside of default, there are four options; Narrowest, narrow, wide, and widest. To fit the most on your screen, go with the widest. We didn’t notice it impact performance any more than any of the other options, so you should be fine with this setting.
• Motion Blur – On – I usually say turn this off for better image quality, but given some of the technical issues, keep this on. We found it helps hide the screen tearing.
• Film Grain – Off, unless you like a grainy picture?
• Chromatic Aberration – Off
• Camera Shake – 100% – I kept this at default, but if it’s too much, lower it.
• Ambient Camera Sway – Again, default at 100.
• Subtitles – On
• HUD Scale – 100% – The HUD is pretty big as is, so I don’t recommend going any larger than the default.
• Hide HUD – Perfect for those wanting total immersion. If you just want to play normal, keep this on then.
• Color Profile Settings – Keep everything at default, but if you are colorblind, there are a number of things that have specific colors that can be changed.
• Stabilizing UI Dot – Off – Unless you really need a dot on the center of your screen, turn this off.

Audio

Keep all this at default. If you are a YouTube or content creator, then it may benefit you to turn the music audio all the way down.
