HDR Patch Coming to HITMAN This Month

Have you just invested in the still pretty rare HDR monitors for your PC? Most likely not, but there’s a damn good chance you have a HDR 4K display sitting in your living room, either way, if you’re a fan of HITMAN, you’ll soon be able to enjoy the game in glorious high dynamic range!

IO-Interactive revealed that the update will be hitting the game on the 31st of January, allowing better colours, brighter images, blacker blacks and more. HDR is one of those things that has to be seen to be believed and as a 4K HDR gamer myself, the more games that support this truly next-gen image quality is fine by me.

” As an example, think of 47 in a dark room looking out a bright window. Without HDR you would not be able make out what’s outside, whereas with HDR you can simultaneously see details inside the room and outside the window. Another extreme example is the sun. Without HDR we could not render the sun brighter than a white piece of paper, so we had to ‘simulate’ the sun being blinding. With HDR we can draw the sun several times brighter, so that it is actually close to being blinding, just like in real life.”
