Why Star Wars Jedi: Survivor can trigger motion sickness

The game ships with camera shake at 100 on a scale of 0 to 100, and ambient camera sway at 100 on a scale of 0 to 150. Motion blur, film grain and chromatic aberration start on as well. Your view moves a little with every step, and your inner ear feels none of it. PCGamingWiki adds a caveat: it says motion blur, vignette and depth of field effects are always present at the Medium, High and Epic post-processing levels. Each of these settings targets one source of screen motion.

  • Ambient camera sway while you move, on by default
  • Camera shake, set to full strength by default
  • Motion blur, film grain and chromatic aberration, all on by default
