The sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will reportedly skip Xbox One and PS4 and launch only for new-gen consoles and PC in 2023.That’s according to VentureBeat reporter and insider Jeff Grubb, who claimed on his GiantBomb YouTube show, Grubbsnax (thanks, VGC), that the sequel will not be coming to previous-gen consoles. “Star Wars Jedi 2, it is new-gen only, where it’s PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and of course PC,” Grubb said. “One of the reasons that they’re going to be able to do that is because it’s not coming out until 2023. This game is for sure now not coming out until 2023.” Previously, Grubb noted that there was a slim chance the Jedi: Fallen Order sequel could launch this year, but that no longer appears to be the case. Grubb went on to say that a new-gen only 2023 release for the game has some upsides, with Respawn and EA not having to worry about “trying to straddle these generation lines.” “It makes it easier to just disassociate yourself with those millions of PS4s and Xbox Ones out in the world when you are in 2023 and you’re going to have several months of making it very easy to get an Xbox Series X, probably a few months between now and then when it’s actually okay to get a PS5,” Grubb said. He then claimed that EA is dropping the Fallen Order name for the sequel and that we can expect the game to be shown at Star Wars Celebration.
