Developer shows off more games with HDR support on Linux – Games – News

A developer from Valve claims on Twitter that he has hdr running on Linux. Pierre-Loup Griffais says he was able to play several games with those settings turned on, including Death Stranding.

Griffais, a developer working on Steam Deck, show in a tweet more games on linux with hdr enabled. Show screenshots of Deep Rock Galactic and Halo Infinite with that setting on. “HDR can now be enabled for real games,” he writes, rather than just in test environments.

Shortly after, developer Joshua Ashton responded with even more screenshots showing how Death Stranding runs on pc with hdr enabled. Ashton puts a heatmap on it so it’s clear where the graphical improvements are.

It is not yet known if or when Valve will release final HDR support for Linux devices. The fact that a Steam Deck developer plays with HDR raises speculation that a future Steam Deck may be able to support HDR. Steam Deck runs on Linux. Valve has previously hinted that a future version should have an improved screen, as well as better battery life. It’s not yet clear if HDR is supported on it.
