Battlefield 6 - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2025-10-10 18:37:12 +0000 UTC
The game DOES USE/APPLY Xbox & Playstation HDR Calibration app settings, but not PC ones.
Battlefield 6 has a great HDR implementation as by default has perfect black levels, great contrast and highlights, leverages system-level HDR Calibration on Consoles while it offers an accurate in-game Peak HDR Luminance slider (even if not in nits) which can go up to 10.000 nits (with +25 nits increments for each click) for the PC version.
So basically if you play it on Xbox/Playstation (and you have already calibrated the system level HDR) you can directly skip to the last "BONUS" part.
If you play it on PC, follow this guide:
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: +159 Clicks (from leftmost position/0)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: +31 Clicks (from leftmost position/0) or +39 Clicks (for G2/C4) or +59 Clicks (for G3/G4/C5) or +95 Clicks (for G5)
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: +39 Clicks (from leftmost position/0)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits":
NOTE: For "leftmost position" I mean setting the slider to initial/0 position, so basically the white bar filling the slider should reduce to the point to vanish completely but then just STOP there by going backward. I'm specifying that because apparently you can even go "negative" with going backward (which is probably a bug at the moment) which could make the other clicks inaccurate if you start from there.
BONUS:
Disable Chromatic Aberration: to improve visual clarity
Keep Film Grain Enabled: as it's very minimal (you won't see the "noise" on screen) and can help reducing color banding in this case
Set the Consoles to 120hz and enable VRR: for the smoothest experience
On PC Only: if you play at Native resolution and/or use DLSS4 or FSR4, decrease in-game Sharpness from default 50 to 40 in order to avoid oversharpening artifacts
Enjoy ;)

Then it's a matter if you prefer visuals or lower input latency and a smoother image, but considering it's competitive online shooter I would go with Performance. No other settings is actually "needed" to be changed other than what I mentioned. All the rest is just personal preference ;)
