Final Fantasy XVI Demo - HDR Settings

This game uses the PS5. Adjust the PS5 system HDR calibration.  

For the tested demo version of game, the actual HDR peak brightness in the game is very different from the HDR peak brightness level set in the PS5 HDR system settings. This can cause lights to look too bright when TV tone mapping is off (HGIG). See the table below for estimated values.

You can recalibrate the PS5's HDR system settings to match your TV's peak brightness (see table third column), but remember to set it back to the correct value for other games. Also you can use your TV's tone mapping modes if you don't like the result with HGIG.

In-game HDR settings have two sliders:

• UI Brightness - adjusts interface brightness
• Screen Brightness - actually adjusts the black level. You can decrease the value to zero or adjust to your preference.

When adjusting the settings, be guided by the real image of the game, not test imagesalert-info
