Here's a guide to help you fix the broken and washed out HDR on Starfield.
One of the surprising revels about Starfield was that it didn’t have native support for HDR, apart from other workarounds like forced Auto-HDR. This makes the graphics for certain scenes washed out and poor quality. From Bethesda’s side, it has acknowledged the broken HDR problem in Starfield and suggests that the creators will soon release an official fix. Now players can wait for an official patch to fix the issue in the interim or can try this below given solutions and fixes in this guide.
As mentioned above, the workaround just gets the work done. Now until the developers release the official HDR patch on Xbox and PC for Starfield, for the time being, we would recommend to better remain away from HDR since the force workaround anyway is not at all ideal and visually pleasing. Apart from that, you can adjust a few other possible in-game settings to get a somewhat HDR-like feel.
