It looks like physical copies of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will require an additional digital download before it can be played.

We already knew that it was a chunky sequel – Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PC takes up an eye-watering 155GB – but if you're one of the folks looking to buy a physical edition, you may need to bear this in mind when it comes to planning your play session.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor finally went gold ahead a few days back. Several senior staff at developer Respawn began tweeting vague messages of celebration, including senior producer Blair Brown, who tweeted a gif with the words "It's done", indicating that his work on the new sequel is finally done.
Ahead of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's launch this month, publisher EA recently revealed when you'll be able to pre-load the game so that you can start playing as soon as possible. EA and Steam platforms have a slight advantage – they begin on April 25 at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST – while PlayStation and Xbox users can pre-load the game an hour later at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST.
