Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players on PS5, Xbox, and PC have been experiencing problems with broken HDR. Having the setting enabled seems to completely ruin the game's visuals and makes it impossible to enjoy Cal Kestis's adventure with optimal graphics.

While you can simply head to the settings and disable HDR, there is a workaround for the broken HDR issues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. So, let's run through exactly how to fix the broken HDR in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

How to fix broken HDR on PS5

Luckily, YouTuber GamingTech has developed a set of workarounds for the broken HDR for Star Wars Jedi Survivor. For PS5, you'll first need to adjust your console HDR settings, so follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to 'Settings' indicated by s cog icon on the home screen
  2. Head to 'Screen and Video'
  3. Select 'Video Output'
  4. Scroll down to 'Adjust HDR'
  5. Increase the brightness to the maximum for all three symbols

Following this, start up Star Wars Jedi Survivor and head to the settings menu as you'll need to tweak some options. Once there, simply follow the steps below:

This should significantly improve your HDR visuals and fix the broken HDR issue on PS5 until the devs patch it out.

How to fix broken HDR on Xbox

In order to fix the broken HDR for Xbox Series X|S players on Star Wars Jedi Survivor, you'll need to follow a similar process and head to your console HDR settings. So, head to the Xbox settings and simply follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to 'HDR Game Callibration'
  2. Hit 'Next' and ignore the 'Minimum Luminance' screen and hit 'Next' again
  3. Set 'Maximum Luminance' to the highest brightness possible

For the time being, there is no workaround for broken HDR on Star Wars Jedi Survivor PC. So we recommend you disable the setting until an official fix is released.

It's worth noting that a fix for broken HDR on all platforms is expected to arrive in the day one patch.
