The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has an average HDR implementation with a fixed and not adjustable Peak HDR Luminance of 1.000 nits.
For this reason it is suggested to use Dynamic Tone Mapping in order to offset potential highlights clipping and lost detail in bright areas.

One of the most discussed, complex, therefore controversial topic around HDR gaming in the last years was the "ultimate" choice to do between Dynamic Tone Mapping algorithms or ("no tone mapping at all") HGIG approach for games.
Which is "always best"?

The game doesn't have the best HDR implementation as it will offer various, cumbersome in-game HDR controls not in numerical values and not in nits which require a bit of tweaking to look good. It also peaks at 1.000 nits max HDR luminance.
