Psychadelic visual glitch (PS5)

I own the PS4 version of Fallen Order, and I downloaded and began to play the PS5 version three months ago, soon after it released. It became immediately evident once I got to the start screen that something weird is happening: the game has weird psychedelic glowing, pulsating rectangles across the entire background of the display.

I've attached a screenshot of the start menu, and here's a clip of what it looks like in gameplay https://imgur.com/a/JKYjOei

Looks cool at first, but it's super annoying trying to actually do anything like this. I've made sure my game has the latest update (1.003.000) and that my PS5 is running the latest software version (21.02-04.00.00.42-00.00.00.0.1), tried rebooting the console, un- and re-installing the game, playing without importing PS4 data, turning off and on the game's visual effects, and messing around with settings on my TV, to make sure it isn't that, and all to no avail.

    @EA_Atic yes, I just tried another HDMi cable and the effect is unchanged. The fact that the visual issue is present in the recording taken directly from the PS5 (which as far as I know would not be affected by the presence or absence of an HDMi cable or some issue with the television) and the fact that this is the only game in which I'm having any issues like this makes me think that the problem is with the game or PS5 itself, and not the television or cables.
