The first game delay of 2023 is here, as EA has announced that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been delayed to April 28 from its original release date of March 17. According to Respawn, the game is “content complete,” but needs more time for polishing.
This was announced by EA over on the official EA Star Wars Twitter account:

For the last three years, the Jedi team here at Respawn has poured its collective heart and soul into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and we are proud to say the next chapter in the tale of Cal Kestis is content complete. We are now focused entirely on the final stage: bug fixes to enhance performance, stability, polish and most importantly, the player experience.
Jedi: Survivor is a direct response to the feedback from our community, delivering expansive destinations to explore, evolved combat and traversal, and of course, the continuation of Cal and BD’s story. Making this game has truly made us a better team, and we have pushed ourselves at every level to make this the Star Wars sequel our fans expect from Respawn and Lucasfilm Games.
In order for the team to hit the Respawn quality bar, provide the team the time they need, and achieve the level of polish our fans deserve, we have added six crucial weeks to our release schedule — Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will now launch globally on April 28th.
Thanks to EA and Respawn for giving us the time to deliver the best experience for our players, and to all of you for your understanding.
May the Force be with you.
Stig, and the Star Wars Jedi Team
Six weeks isn’t that bad. Let’s hope Respawn puts it to good use, since I doubt anyone wants a game to launch that needs loads of patches before it becomes playable.
