GTA 6’s HDR and SDR trailers were compared to see whether the HDR version contains any extra visual detail. A technical comparison of the HDR and SDR versions found that HDR mainly changes how the game displays brightness and contrast. HDR isn’t adding extra detail to the image. The same visual information is displayed across a wider brightness range. The HDR version can make GTA 6’s lighting look more realistic and cinematic, but it’s not a higher-detail version of the trailer.

Steam Deck OLED is getting HDR streaming back. Valve has re-enabled HDR in Steam Remote Play with the latest Steam Beta update, after temporarily disabling it earlier this month because of brightness issues that could make streamed games look overexposed. The update also adds a new HDR setting >Automatic, On or Off, “On” can also increase brightness when displaying SDR content >A brightness slider has been added to the streaming overlay >HDR capture now works through PipeWire on desktop Linux >HDR streaming from macOS is now supported >Android 15+ phones can stream HDR through the Steam Link Beta app
