Denuvo DRM removed from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor alongside new PC optimisation patch

Respawn is continuing to polish up the PC version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The latest patch is pretty substantial, removing Denuvo DRM, alongside new CPU usage and ray-tracing optimisations. 

While today's new patch only applies to PC, an upcoming update to the PlayStation 5 version of the game will enable save transfers between PS4 and PS5.

With that little note about console updates out of the way, let's jump into all of the PC improvements coming with Patch 9:

  • Framerate improvements for various hardware configurations.
  • Smoother gameplay with fixes for several sources of framerate hitching
  • CPU usage for Ray Tracing has been optimised, and Ray Tracing now scales better for high-end GPUs.
  • Denuvo DRM has been removed
  • Various quality-of-fixes, including improved mouse-and-keyboard control across many in-game menus
  • Bug fixes for rare crashes and collision issues

At launch, Jedi: Survivor was in rough shape on PC. Even the game's performance modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X were rocky. Now, well over a year since, the game is in much better shape across all platforms.

KitGuru Says: It isn't uncommon to see a big game removing Denuvo a year or more after launch. That in itself may help some people with getting the game running smoothly.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
