How to fix Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 HDR issues on PS5

by Kevin Chen

When playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, you may experience some issues with the HDR display. Some areas may look too dark while others may look a little too bright. The colors in general may look washed out as well.

To see how you can get a better HDR output for this free-to-play game, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. The first potential step you can try is to make sure that you have HDR actually enabled on your screen and console.

On your PlayStation 5, you need to head over to the Settings menu. From there, you need to select Screen and Video, followed by Video Output. You should then make sure that you set HDR to “Always On” or “On When Supported” in the Video Output menu.

2. On your television set, you should also make sure that you don’t have any settings enabled that may automatically dim the brightness output or change the contrast. If you do, then you need to turn them off.

3. You can also try changing the RGB Range of your PS5’s output.

In order to do so, go back to the aforementioned Video Output menu and then select RGB Range. This setting should be set to Automatic (Recommended) by default. You can try changing it to either Limited or Full to see if your HDR issues go away when playing Warzone 2.

4. You should try re-calibrating the HDR Brightness on your console as well.

To do so, head back to the Video Output menu and then select Adjust HDR. Over the next few screens, you then need to follow the instructions that appear on the screen in order to calibrate the brightness output of your console to match your television screen.

5. There is a possibility that the HDR color and brightness output of your TV is not that good.

If you believed that this is the case, then you can try playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on a different television set or monitor with HDR support.

If that is not possible, then you can try playing the game without HDR. In order to disable HDR on your PS5, go to the Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output menu and the set HDR to Off.

6. Although you won’t be able to adjust the HDR brightness when playing Warzone 2, you should be able to add a color filter. To do so, you need to take the following steps:

While playing the game, press the Options button on your controller.
In the newly opened menu, press R1 several times to switch over to the Settings tab.
From the Settings tab, press the Triangle button.
After getting to the Accessibility menu, you need to select All Accessibility Settings.
Next, you need to select Color Customization from the Display tab.
From the Color Customization menu, select any of the available options in the Color Filter setting.
In the Color Filter Target, select World.
You can then adjust the World Color Intensity.

How to refund PlayStation Plus

by Kevin Chen

PlayStation Plus will unlock online multiplayer for paid games on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles. If you need to get a full or partial refund for this subscription, then you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.

PlayStation Plus refund requirements

In order to get a full or partial refund on PlayStation Plus, you need to request one within 14 days of purchasing your subscription. Otherwise, it is likely that PlayStation will reject your request.

Of course, the refund policy may be different depending on your region. This guide is based on the U.S. region.

How much can you get refunded from PlayStation Plus?

The amount you can get refunded back from a PlayStation Plus service depends on how you have been using the service. The following activities should count as usages:

Playing multiplayer games that require PlayStation Plus
Adding any monthly games offered by the PlayStation Plus Essential tier to your game library
Adding any games offered by the PlayStation Plus Extra, Deluxe and Premium tiers to your game library
Playing any games through cloud streaming from PlayStation Plus Premium tier
Buying a game, DLC or other digital product that have a discount tied to being a PlayStation Plus member
Using the cloud storage of PlayStation Plus

So, if you have been using PlayStation Plus for a few days, then it is likely that you are only getting a partial amount refunded. If you haven’t used the subscription you bought yet, then you may be able to get a full refund.

Keep in mind that, if you bought PlayStation Plus directly from the PlayStation Store and the subscription service got a discount within 14 days after your purchase, then you should be able to get a refund. The amount should be the difference between the amount you originally paid, the discounted price and how you were using the subscription before it was discounted.

If you bought PlayStation Plus from a third-party retailer but haven’t redeem the voucher code, then you need to contact the retailer instead of Sony if you want to get a refund for your purchase.

How to request a refund for PlayStation Plus

In order to request a refund for PlayStation Plus, you can take the following steps:

1. To start off, you need to visit the official PlayStation Contact Us webpage.

2. From there, you need to select PS Store & Refunds.

3. You then need to select PlayStation Store Refunds.

4. Afterwards, select the Live Chat option.

5. The customer support representative should then walk you through the rest of the refund process.

6. If you managed to get a partial or full refund, then PlayStation will try to credit funds back to your original payment method. If that is not possible, then the company will send the refunded amount to the digital wallet of your PlayStation Network account.

Can you gift PlayStation Plus through the PlayStation Store?

Unfortunately, there is currently no way that you can gift PlayStation Plus to someone directly by using the PlayStation Store. Instead, you need use a third-party retailer for gifting this subscription service.

How to gift a physical PlayStation Plus card

One of the ways you can gift someone a PS Plus subscription is by giving them a physical gift card.

Sony is currently selling PlayStation Store Gift Cards and PlayStation Plus Wallet Funds at major retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart. These cards should come with the voucher code and redemption instructions located at the back.

We recommend using this method if you prefer using physical gifts instead of digital ones.

How to gift a digital PlayStation Plus card

If you don’t mind doing a digital gift, then you can purchase a voucher code through online retailers such as Amazon as well as the websites for the aforementioned Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart.

If you decide to use Amazon, for example, you can buy a PlayStation Store Gift Card and PlayStation Plus Wallet Fund voucher code. After the purchase, you should get an email that contains the voucher code with redemption instructions. You can then forward this email to the gift recipient.

Both PlayStation Store Gift Card and PlayStation Plus Wallet Fund will add funds to the digital wallet of your family’s or friend’s PlayStation Network account. Once the funds have been redeemed, the gift receiver will be able to spend it on PlayStation Plus as well as other digital products (like games, DLC, microtransactions and other subscriptions) on the PlayStation Store.
