Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – Is Download Required for Physical Disc Version?
For those who were looking forward to getting a physical copy of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to avoid the large data downloads, we have some unfortunate news. It appears that even with the disc version of the game, a download is necessary to play the game – at least partially. This information comes from a game case that is already in circulation.
It is still unclear whether the entire game or only parts of it need to be downloaded, or if it is simply an activation code. In any case, this could be disappointing for some players.
Disc Versions with Forced Downloads – Not an Isolated Incident
While it may come as a surprise to some, this is not the first time that buyers of a disc version of a game are forced to download it. In some cases, the disc only contains an activation key, and players are redirected to the digital storefront version of the game to download the full game. This was the case with Modern Warfare 2, for example.
Official Release Date on April 28th
We will surely get more information about the size of the download and the exact requirements once Star Wars Jedi: Survivor officially releases on April 28th for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Until then, it remains to be seen whether the situation will change or whether players will have to accept that a download is unavoidable even with the disc version.
Conclusion: Flexibility is Key
The fact that a download may be required for the disc version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor once again shows that the times when you could simply insert a disc and start playing right away are over. Gamers should be prepared to be flexible and possibly upgrade their internet connection if they want to continue enjoying current games in the future.
