You too might have joined in on the fun recently and are now curious about adding cool stuff like mods, making the colors pop with HDR, and getting a wider view with ultrawide screens. Plus, what about literal game-changing tech like DLSS and FSR 3 to make the game look even better? Does the game have support for all these features? Keep reading to know it all!
It is understandable why you want these features in Lightyear Frontier. It is obvious that they make the game way more fun. Mods will let you change some core functions while also adding new ones to the game. HDR support is a must if you have an HDR-supported display, as it will make the colors pop more, and with ultrawide screens, you can have a more immersive experience. DLSS and FSR 3 make the game run smoother and look better, even on not-so-powerful computers. These features will make Lightyear Frontier a lot more awesome to play! But are these features even supported by the game?
Lightyear Frontier Mod, HDR, Ultrawide (21:9), Super Ultrawide (32:9), AMD FSR 3 & DLSS Support Details
When it comes to the question of official mod support, the developers have stated that there won’t be any built-in modding support or Steam Workshop integration during the launch of Lightyear Frontier. However, they are open to considering it after launch based on demand and feasibility. Unofficially too, since Lightyear Frontier has only been out for a few days at the time of writing this article, we haven’t come across any mods yet. However, that shouldn’t discourage you, as the modding community is vast and often creates mods for most games. With a bit of time, you can expect mods to emerge for this game too. Keep an eye out on websites like Nexus Mods and ModsDB for any mods that may become available in the future.
While it’s possible that Lightyear Frontier could have HDR support, we haven’t found any evidence or reports to confirm this. There’s a report from a player stating that the Auto HDR feature didn’t work while playing the Game Pass version. Additionally, the display settings within the game don’t provide an option to toggle HDR on or off. Based on these observations, it’s likely that the game doesn’t support HDR at this time.
Back in 2021, the developers assured players that Lightyear Frontier would support 21:9 and very likely 32:9 ultrawide and super ultrawide monitors. Now that the game has been released, it seems the developers have kept their promise with support for both aspect ratios. However, some players have encountered issues with super ultrawide monitors and are currently using workarounds. You can hope that the developers will implement a permanent fix for this issue soon.
Finally coming to DLSS and FSR 3, in Lightyear Frontier, DLSS is supported, as evidenced by the presence of toggles and options for it in the display settings of the game. However, the same cannot be said for AMD FSR 3, as there are no corresponding options or toggles for it. Based on this observation, it appears that while DLSS is supported, FSR 3 is not implemented in the game.
