Star Wars Jedi: Survivor finally Force-pushes Denuvo out the airlock in patch focused on performance improvements

Cal Kestis and Merrin either summon a mighty force push, or are doing their best mime impression amidst an arid desert landscape.

Over a year after release, Jedi: Survivor has shed everyone's favourite DRM system and bid farewell to Denuvo. This welcome change is part of Patch 9, which also throws in some performance and quality of life improvements, along with some bug fixes. Just a shame it arrived a month after I finally got around to finishing Cal's latest adventure. 

It's not uncommon for Denuvo to be removed from games a while after release. Launch is when publishers are most worried about piracy, naturally, and EA already considers Jedi: Survivor a commercial success. Anyway, this will be cause for celebration among those who blame Denuvo for performance issues, though the impact it has on games is inconsistent.
