Battlefield 2042 HDR Greyed out in PS5: How to Fix

As far as the reasoning behind this issue, a member of the EA Dice Team gave out a rather surprising response. According to him, the option to toggle HDR shouldn’t be there in the first place. If your display supports it, it will be automatically enabled and vice versa. So there is a fix that is slated to be rolled out which will remove the option to enable/disable the HDR. Instead of that, you will now get a calibration screen for HDR.

While this chalks out the future course of action, what about the present set of users whose display supports HDR but is still disabled? Well, in that case, you should restore the Display Settings to the Default Mode.
