Good news for DRM haters. STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor has been liberated as of the latest update which also thankfully continues improving the performance too.
I've actually held off on playing it through fully myself due to how bad the initial release was, so maybe I'll be jumping back in to get it done now too. That's the problem with games that are pushed out too soon, of which we've seen a shocking lot of lately, there's so many other games coming out that you can easily move onto.
Respawn / EA announced Patch 9 today which notes very clearly "Denuvo DRM has been removed". Plus these other changes:
Performance Improvements:
- Framerate improvements for various hardware configurations.
- Fixes for several sources of framerate hitching for smoother gameplay.
- Ray Tracing has been optimized for CPU usage and should now scale better for high-end GPUs.
- Fixes for performance related to using a mouse as gameplay input.
Quality of Life:
- The “Optimizing Game Files” screen has been optimized and can now see speed increases from multiple CPU cores.
- Mouse and keyboard functionality has been improved across a variety of menu screens, including the first time user screens, title menu, game menu, and workbench.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed collision issue where players could fall through elevators at low framerates.
- Fix for a conversation-related crash when walking away from NPC characters.
- Fix for various, intermittent crashes.
So if you've been holding off, it truly sounds like this is the absolute best time to grab it. Unless you're waiting on a sale that is, in which case fair enough.
Available to buy from Steam.

The performance improvement was literally just removing Denuvo.

***POST DENUVO REMOVAL REVIEW***
[...] Around Pyloon's Saloon I used to get anywhere between 50 and 70 fps with HUGE stutters (Thanks Denuvo for that...).
Now I'm getting anywhere between 70 and 100 with buttery smooth gameplay with that POS DRM removed, (1440p, high settings with FSR on Quality).
The Shattered Moon I'm getting between 70 to 100 fps as well.
Galaxy map does tank the FPS but honestly, I'll take that over the denuvo Crap any day.

Does anybody else feel like this game was an unnecessary sequel? The first game was great and all, but the ending wrapped it up pretty well for me. I would only really play this game for the graphics and gameplay, but I'm not really sure how they would expand on an already finished story.

Yep, but the problem was never fps. It was the frame pacing that caused major stuttering issues. My PC was running the game at 80-100fps, but with way too much fps drops and stuttering.
Edit:
Just did a test of my own. Pretty similar experience, at lower fps, on my Ryzen 5 3600 with RX 6600. I'm able to run the game at High settings and enjoy the experience. It's not perfect, meaning I have seen smoother running games, but it's much better, no doubt. Koboh is/was by far the most punishing place for your hardware.
Edit 2:
The game now correctly recognize my controller when I use the Steam Link app! All inputs are working as intended!
