- Windows version does not support native HDR, which was verified and confirmed by running the game on a HDR display while Windows HD Color was enabled (allows for HDR output to the display running in HDR mode) and confirming that the brightness of the game changed while manipulating the SDR content appearance slider in the Windows HD Color settings. Since the brightness changed with the SDR content appearance slider, this game does not make use of native HDR, and is in fact merely tonemapped from SDR to HDR automatically by Windows 10 (so called fake HDR).
