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
