As players might’ve expected from seeing some other next-gen updates for games released on the previous generation, the ones for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S target things like framerate and resolution. No specific gameplay changes were made in the update with it dealing largely with only those two areas.
You may have noticed an update for #StarWars #JediFallenOrder today, which will improve optimization on the latest generation of consoles (Xbox Series S|X & PlayStation 5).

Unfortunately for those on the PlayStation 5, there’s also no mention of any additional support for the DualSense controller. The controller’s innovative features like the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers seem like they’d be smart fits for a game filled with Lightsaber battles and Force powers, but there’s no such support to speak of in the latest update.
You can find the full notes for the next-gen Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order update below and should now be able to download the update on your new consoles.
