Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a 2023 action-adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. The game is the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019), taking place five years after the events of the previous game and continuing the adventure of young Jedi Knight Cal Kestis (Cameron Monaghan), as he and his friends continue in their struggle to survive the tyranny of the Galactic Empire while racing against a corrupted High Republic Jedi to reach a shrouded planet that can serve as a safe haven for those oppressed by the Empire. As with its predecessor, Survivor's structure was inspired by Metroidvania games, with gameplay split between combating hostile enemies using Cal's lightsaber and Force powers, platforming, and puzzle-solving.

Development of the game began in late 2019 and lasted for three and a half years, with Stig Asmussen once again serving as the game's director. It was the last game released by EA during its 10-year exclusivity contract with Lucasfilm to produce Star Wars games. With the sequel, the goal for the team was to significantly expand its scope and scale, refining mechanics established in Fallen Order while introducing new gameplay features such as AI-controlled companions. The team collaborated closely with Lucasfilm while writing the game's narrative, which had a significantly darker tone when compared with Fallen Order. In Survivor, Cal grapples with the futility of the rebellion and the dominance of the Empire while facing several antagonists that serve as a foil to him.

Announced in May 2022, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on April 28, 2023. Versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released on September 17, 2024. The game was met with positive reviews from critics, who praised the characters, combat, level design, and music, with most deeming it a significant improvement over its predecessor. The PC version of the game, however, was criticized for its technical issues. It was a commercial success for the publisher, and it was nominated for multiple year-end awards, including Best Action/Adventure Game at The Game Awards 2023. A sequel, which also serves as a conclusion to Cal's story, is currently in development.
