I was expecting something dark and sinister waiting for me in a galaxy far, far away, but having the complete game go black was unexpected.

It was at least comforting to know I was not the only one having an issue with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor HDR broken on PlayStation 5. Here's how to fix this issue plaguing PS5 players.

How to fix Star Wars Jedi Survivor HDR issue

There is no quick fix to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor HDR broken problem, but there are a couple of solutions for a smooth PS5 playing experience. If you're on a PC, you may be safe from this issue, but you'll encounter challenges setting up a computer for the best performance.

Switch to another TV to fix the Jedi Survivor HDR issue

The first thing you can do is find a TV that's not LG C1, CS, or GX, as those are the models with HDR mode issues in the PS5 Jedi Survivor version, according to players on Reddit.

Turn off HDR on the Jedi Survivor PS5 version

If you don't have multiple TVs, the safest way to play the game without technical issues is to turn off HDR mode in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Don't worry; the game will still look pretty, so that you won't lose too much regarding the playing experience.

Change brightness settings in the Jedi Survivor PS5 version

As everything is so dark while the HDR option is turned on, you can counter it by making everything brighter in the display setting. This will somewhat improve the situation, but it's not what I had in mind with HRD mode in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
