Microsoft's Xbox Serial Ten could improve the visuals of all the games it supports thanks to sporting native HDR scale.

We have previously heard that Microsoft'southward next-generation panel will support HDR, much like the Xbox I S and Xbox Ane X before it. But some digging past videogame colorist Adam Fairclough constitute text that references arrangement-wide HDR calibration in Xbox system text.

• quaternary of July sales: The best deals right now
• Nintendo apologies for Joy-Con drift — but there'southward still a problem
• Simply in: Xbox Series X to fire dorsum at PS5 with July 23 games event

The HDR references were found in Xbox preview dashboard system text, which was shared on Pastebin by a security researcher. Fairclough, going by the name of EvilBoris on Twitter, then discovered three lines referring to "HDMICalibration" and "TML" (aka tone mapping level), which track with what the HDR Gaming Interest Group have recommended as parameters for HDR.

In brusk, the text basically hints that the Xbox Series X could come with its own HDR calibration system. That could and then take the benefit of automatically applying HDR to games even if the developers haven't added support for it themselves, thus improving their overall appearance.

For those who don't know, HDR stands for loftier dynamic range, which offers a wider range of contrast, brighter highlights and punchier colors in videos, movies and games that support it. It'southward get a rather attractive feature that'due south filtered down from high-end Television into mid-range sets, and is something the PS4 and current-generation Xbox consoles also support.

In games however, HDR is reliant on the developer baking in HDR support. And many games implement it in unlike ways, leading to an inconsistent feel.

But is the Xbox Serial 10 has system-wide HDR it can not just ensure a degree of consistency just also help add together HDR to games that don't natively come with it. This is already something teated for the console'southward backwards compatibility, but it could as well give new games a decent visual heave too, though we'd hope that new titles are more active at offering HDR support.

Furthermore, it would appear that the Xbox Series X will calibrate its HDR output to your Television, providing it supports HDR, which could remove a lot of the pain of doing such calibrations manually if you're someone who likes to get the all-time out of their TV's picture.

With the Xbox Series X slated to have 12 teraflops of power, support for ray-tracing, run games at 4K and up to 120 frames per second, deeper HDR support could exist the icing in the block for Microsoft's next-generation panel when it arrives at the end of the twelvemonth.
