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.

Piranha Games doesn't want to go against CD Projekt Red's highly anticipated title and has opted to push back the release of an expansion for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and its Steam and GOG versions. Instead of a December 10 release for the Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC, it'll come out in the spring of 2021. 

"Any developer wants their titles to get as much attention as possible, and obviously sharing a release date with Cyberpunk was less than optimal," the studio noted in a blog post. "Day one sales and marketing are so important to a successful product launch, and we believe that rescheduling our release date will allow MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries to have the opportunity and attention it deserves."
