For a list of known games and their specifics, see Unreal Engine 4-5 games where HDR can be forced.

Unreal Engine 5 have native HDR output that can be forced in many newer games with mixed results.

Force the built-in HDR display output of the engine:

Refer to the list of Unreal Engine 4-5 games where HDR can be forced for details about whether the built-in HDR display output is known to work with the game.
Using the guide below, change Engine.ini to include these lines:
```
[SystemSettings]
r.AllowHDR=1
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1
r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice=5
r.HDR.Display.ColorGamut=2
```
Optional changes:
- If the display supports 2000 nits or higher, change r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice to 6 to use the 2000 nits output mode.
- Add these lines to boost the UI brightness which may make it integrate better with HDR:
```
r.HDR.UI.CompositeMode=1
r.HDR.UI.Level=1.5
```
The game should now launch with HDR display output enabled and working.

Notes

See the official engine documentation for more details.
