Lords of the Fallen has launched with an underwhelming HDR implementation on PlayStation 5 but luckily, you can make the game look much better while you wait for the official fix.

Lords of the Fallen launched with a very underwhelming HDR implementation on PlayStation 5, resulting in a washed-out picture that doesn't do the game's visuals any justice.

Hexworks are probably working on a fix as we write this article but while we wait for the official patch to address the issue, there are a couple of things you can do on your own to make the game look better.

The fix, which has been shared by Redditor metalpunks, does indeed make the game look crispier and like it actually utilises HDR. Read on below for the instructions on how to make Lords of the Fallen look better on PlayStation 5.

How to fix HDR in Lords of the Fallen on PS5

  1. Turn off HDR in your PlayStation 5 settings
  2. Go to the in-game settings and turn off Chromatic Aberration and Motion Blur. You can turn off Film Grain too if you don't like it.
  3. Go to the picture settings and set Contrast to at least 65 and turn brightness down one or two notches.

Lords of the Fallen looks incredible so it's a shame that the HDR implementation doesn't do the game any justice

If you followed the instructions closely and did everything right, Lords of the Fallen should now look much better on PlayStation 5, with darker blacks and better colours overall. The image should also look crispier overall.

Obviously, this is not an ideal solution and cannot replace a true HDR implementation but it's certainly better than having a washed-out image. Hopefully, Hexworks will provide a fix to this issue on PS5 sooner rather than later.
