The preview is available right this second.
An Auto HDR preview is available now for Windows 10 PC, Microsoft today announced.
The feature, rolled out on Xbox Series S & X consoles for older games that were developed without HDR support, is now available across more than 1,000 DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 titles.
“While some game studios develop for HDR gaming PCs by mastering their game natively for HDR, Auto HDR for PC will take DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 SDR-only games and intelligently expand the color/brightness range up to HDR,” Microsoft said in a blog post. “It’s a seamless platform feature that will give you an amazing new gaming experience that takes full advantage of your HDR monitor’s capabilities. The Auto in the title implies how easy it is for you to enable the feature; a simple settings toggle flip will let you turn the feature on and off.”
If you’d like to try out Auto HDR on PC with titles like Gears 5, you’ll need to be a Windows Insider using build 21337 or above. You can join the program here. Once using the right build, you can toggle Auto HDR on or off in the Windows HD Color Settings page.
