Microsoft starts testing Dolby Vision HDR gaming on Xbox Series X and S

A few Microsoft Xbox Series X and S users have noticed that the company has started testing Dolby Vision HDR gaming through the latest Xbox Insider Alpha ring release (2104). It's only available for a few games right now, including Borderlands 3, Halo: Master Chief Collection, Wreckfest, and Gears 5. The testers claim Dolby's picture quality is more "refined" than the usual HDR10, which is likely because of the dynamic data that adjust HDR visuals frame-by-frame.

Microsoft plans to release it to the general public "soon," but it hasn't committed beyond saying it will come out sometime this year. For Dolby Vision to work, you'll need a compatible TV.

Gotham Knights was initially scheduled for a 2021 release. But Warner Bros. Games Montreal has pushed back the release of the game to next year. In a statement released on Twitter, the developers want to give the game "more time to deliver the best possible experience for players."

The studio didn't say the delay was COVID-related, but it won't be surprising if the new work-from-home setup has affected its development. Gotham Knights will be available on the PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
