The technical makeup of Bethesda's Starfield has mostly been praised so far, well, aside from the lack of any sort of 60FPS option on console. However, users across Xbox and various different PC setups have reported spotty HDR results across the board - an issue that Bethesda has acknowledged and is working on improving.
Bethesda Support recently responded to a fan query about this subject on Twitter. According to the support page, the dev team is "still investigating the issue with HDR", although no further specifics were given.
"Hello, our team is still investigating the issue with HDR. Please continue to submit this issue via feedback as its the best way to bring it to the attention of our development team."
We have heard that some form of 'Auto HDR' has been applied to the Windows 11 PC version of the game since launch, but user reports on that being effective are still mixed at the time of writing.
We're hoping that Bethesda deploys a more thorough HDR update in the coming days that works for all players across all platforms, including Steam. The feature can be quite dependent on how well your own display handles colours though, so it's probably worth fiddling about with your display settings to try and get the best HDR picture for Starfield if you're noticing any issues.
