The superb Alan Wake Remastered has gone one step further in improving the experience for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S users today, adding support for the Auto HDR feature on those consoles.
If you're unaware, Auto HDR allows games without HDR to take advantage of an automated version of it instead, which ultimately means they benefit from improved brightness and colours.
Meanwhile, Remedy has also been working on the Xbox One version of the game, fixing cinematic audio lag and screen tearing as part of the latest update. You'll find the full patch notes below:
Performance
- Improved title stability
Progression
- Fixed the glitch where in Episode 2 players could not complete the „Reach the top of the mill” objective due to the lift clipping through the stairs
Sound
- Fixed the audio lag that was present in some cinematics (Xbox One)
- Fixed the rare issue where cinematics audio would play in mono
Visuals
- Added auto HDR support (Xbox Series X|S)
- Mitigated screen tearing (Xbox One)
- General visual performance fixes
UI
- Improved the resolution of the game icon (PC). It’s prettier now.

Okay but is HDR still tied to 4k only?
Thank heavens!!!! From day one I've wanted this. Night setting with the flashlight mechanic makes this perfect for Dolby Vision
Isn't auto HDR only used for previous generation games? So I suppose Alan Wake remastered technically runs on backwards compatible mode on Series X. Anyway please Rockstar Games I beg you if you don't want to put back in HDR (which was terribly removed) for the GTA Definitive Edition Trilogy let XBOX enable auto HDR. Color saturation looked better before
@Quaali this game has its own native S/X app I believe. When I installed it from disc it prompted me to download that version. Auto HDR seems like it can be used in this way too.
@Fenbops if so I believe this is the first ever current generation game to have it. Will be testing this out as I am rather intrigued and obviously have a little to much extra time on my hands....
Hopefully their next addition will be this game to Game Pass
Nice. Hope it comes to Game Pass as I didn't play it when it came out, but have enjoyed their subsequent games.
