Star Wars Jedi Survivor Hides Space Frog Easter Egg
A player found a Konami code secret in the game's Force upgrade menu that had gone unnoticed for about three years since release.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Gaming
Player TowerBunga discovered a hidden UI Easter egg in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which Respawn UI director Jordan DeVries confirmed on social media on November 1. Entering the Konami code in the Force upgrade menu makes a giant space frog appear and eat a strange moon in the sky.
Why it matters
The find shows that developers' hidden content can persist unnoticed for years after release, even in heavily played titles. It also gives players a concrete example of how the studio's interface team layered in playful secrets.
The secret is triggered by entering the Konami code in the Force upgrade menu, and it had remained undiscovered for about three years since the game's 2023 release. Respawn's UI director confirmed the find publicly on November 1, though the source does not state how many players have since found it.
