Change To Fullscreen Mode

One essential step for HDR support is switching to fullscreen mode. By default, Tony Hawk is set to Windows fullscreen mode. To enable HDR, you'll need to change this setting. Once in fullscreen mode, you'll have the option to toggle HDR on and off as you please.

After enabling HDR, you might notice the game looking washed out or the whites appearing too bright. Don't worry; there's a fix for that. Head back to the settings menu and look for Fidelity FX. If you're using an Nvidia graphics card, Fidelity FX might be the culprit. Simply turn the slider down to zero, save your settings, and return to the game. You should now see the vibrant and full HDR experience as intended.
