Like many other games built on derivatives of the Quake 3 engine, Jedi Academy birthed a vibrant modding scene.

It remains to be seen whether Asypr plans to simply disable all cross-play outright, fix the console matchmaking to exclude PC players, or add in other multiplayer filtering functionality for Switch and PS4 players. A remedy for this loophole is now in the works and will be available soon. As with every game we work on, we are fully committed to delivering great gaming experiences for players, which includes a fair playing field for all. We are aware of the current bug that allows multiplayer cross play between PC and console. Asypr provided the same statement to USG as it did to PC Gamer: We're absolutely thrilled and appreciative of the support that our fan community has given last week's launch of Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
USgamer reached out to Asypr to ask why the cross-play functionality wasn't advertised and to inquire about a remedy for console players. Some PC players seem to be intentionally trolling console servers, but even in an otherwise fair match, mouse and keyboard offer greater precision in Jedi Academy than most Switch or PS4 players could hope to match.

PS4 and Switch servers don't show up in the menus for Jedi Academy players on PC, but players are free to plug in the unlisted IP address of console matchmaking servers and have at it. PC Gamer reported on the strange, seemingly unintended crossplay functionality this past weekend. Enthusiasm for new PS4 and Switch ports was high as a result, but since its release console players have found that cross-play with PC is actually enabled by default, resulting in unfair matches between new players and PC veterans. Though plenty of multiplayer Star Wars games have followed it, the franchise still hasn't had more focused multiplayer lightsaber combat than Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy's. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team. In fact Jedi Academy is already playable in 4K on the system through that program! perhaps that is a reason why Jedi Academy is being skipped on the platform? But if that was the case what about Jedi Outcast which isn’t part of the program and will now not be available for Xbox players? I just find this decision puzzling more than anything.This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. Disney and Lucasfilm have had no problems working to get prior Star Wars titles up and running on Microsoft’s backwards compatibility program in the past. I must admit I find it odd these titles aren’t getting released on the Xbox One. The ports of both titles are being handled by Aspyr notable for numerous game ports to Mac. Which makes me less mad that multiplayer isn’t being included in Jedi Outcast. Both titles are going to support gyro aiming on the Switch while Jedi Acedemy will also feature its classic multiplayer modes. It was then revealed later that the title would also be making its way to the PS4 and that its sequel Jedi Academy would follow for both platforms in 2020. Announced last light during the Nintendo Direct, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is indeed coming to the Nintendo Switch later this month. Praise the Maker two of the best Star Wars titles ever made are getting re-released on modern platforms well some modern platforms at least.
