Xbox Series X players are being asked to change a setting for hidden graphics enhancements

You need to change this setting now…

Xbox Series X/S users are urged to turn off a feature in the console settings.

The Xbox Series X/S offers surprising versatility when it comes to settings, with plenty of hidden features you probably don’t know about unless you regularly browse the settings menus.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Earth Tree is out now! Check out the expansion’s official launch trailer below.

Now, some gamers are encouraging others to go into the settings and turn off a certain feature for a better overall experience.

A Reddit thread by jeebusjunior suggested that some games can look awfully “muddy, blurry, and squashed” when HDR is turned on in the system. This is simply a setting that tells your TV to enable HDR when gaming for a clearer picture overall.

The user went on to say that he played around with the game’s settings to no avail and eventually disabled the feature on the console, which apparently made “a huge difference.”

As it turns out, some TVs don’t need to tell the Xbox when to enable HDR and when not, so sometimes it doesn’t make a difference if it’s on anyway.

So if you have played games that look a little out of then your console may be playing tricks on you. In this case, you should try the following and see if anything changes.

To access your console’s HDR settings, you’ll need to navigate through the following menus: Settings > General > TV & Display Options > Video Modes, then you should be able to turn it off.

And there you have it: another hidden trick for your Xbox Series X/S that you may not have known about.

And there’s a lot more to come, especially when Xbox releases a new system update with a ton of features it doesn’t tell us about.
