Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Controls Guide

There are a lot of controls in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, many more than I was expecting going into the game from Fallen Order. That’s primarily because Cal Kestis is already a force to be reckoned with in this Star Wars sequel, carrying over many of his abilities from his previous adventures. That’s on top of the new Lightsaber stances added to the game. Here, we collect the controls and bindings PC, PS5, and Xbox Series as a companion guide.

It’s worth noting that this controls guide is a work in progress and doesn’t include every control just yet. That’s because I’m still making my way through the game and haven’t unlocked everything (i.e. all stances, abilities, etc.) that have corresponding inputs. I’m working to update it as quickly as possible.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivors Controls List

The controls listed below are all of the default controls for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. You may use a gamepad on PC, as well, and your default inputs depend on the controller type you’re using. They should correspond with either of these lists below, however.

It’s also worth noting that you can fully remap controller inputs on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Literally. If you want a bumper to be an attack input, you can do that. If you want to evade with D-pad Left, you can do that, too. Of course, PC keybinds can always be remapped.
