Open the HDR Calibration menu under the Widgets tab.
Enable scRGB HDR (16 bit) and restart the game.
Adjust the settings in the HDR Calibration menu to your preference.

If you do not install the wrapper, you will need to have global injection enabled every time you launch the game. This may cause compatibility issues with other games.

Windows HDR must be enabled.

This method will not work with DX12 enabled.

This method will only work for the Steam version.
