FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has received a new update, which adds a couple of 
fresh accessibility options, as well as some improvements to an existing one. 
Its hoped these new options will make the game more accessible to a greater 
number of players. 

Specifically, patch eight, which was rolled out yesterday (January 11), adds 
a new high-contrast mode, which allows players to desaturate the colors of 
the environment while adding bright colors to elements like characters, 
enemies, hazards, and interactable objects to make them stand out more. 
According to the games official accessibility resources page , these elements 
can be adjusted separately to suit individual players preferences. 

Also new is the audio ping functionality, which can be used to ping the 
environment in order to utilize echolocation to locate objects and other 
elements. Passive ping can be switched on to automatically ping as Cal 
approaches points of interest, while active sonar ping lets players manually 
send a sonar pulse from wherever Cal is standing, and receive a ping for 
nearby points of interest. The volume of this ping can be adjusted, and the 
speed and radius of the sonar can be altered, too. 

Finally, new presets have been added to the existing slow motion mode. 
Players can now set the mode to 75%, 50%, or 30%, rather than the default 
custom setting. 

In her review, TRGs staff writer Cat Bussell gave Star Wars Jedi: Survivor 
four out of five stars, and praised its detailed and immersive sci-fi world 
as well as its responsive and deep combat. She wrote:  Jedi: Survivor is an 
ambitious and faithful Star Wars adventure. Though far from flawless, its 
engaging soulsborne-style combat and immersive visuals thrill and delight.
