Screen Brightness Adjusts the World's Brightness

Adjusting the Screen Brightness affects the brightness of the world in-game. It is recommended to set the brightness level to 10 to see better in darker environments, like caves.

UI Brightness Adjusts Health Bars and Command Buttons

Adjusting UI Brightness affects the HP bars and command buttons for your attacks and abilities. The Default level is set to 10 and it is recommended to let it stay that way.

Setting Up Screen Brightness When Starting a New Game

Screen Brightness can be adjusted when you start the game for the first time. You can refer to the image on the right to see how each area is affected when you adjust the brightness.

Best Settings and How to Change

You Can Change it Later on the System Menu

If you want to readjust your brightness level, you can change that in the System menu in-game.

What to Do When the Screen is Dark?

Brightness Recommended at Maximum Value

It is recommended to adjust the Screen Brightness to the maximum value (10) at the beginning of the game. It's easier to adjust the settings from most bright and lower it as you see fit. Unless elements in the game are "too bright to see", set the screen brightness level to 10.

Default UI Brightness Level is 10

Lowering the value of the UI Brightness results in dull colors for the HP bars. It is set to 10 as the default settings since this is the best adjustment it has. If you feel like it's too bright, lower down the UI brightness level as you see fit.

Use HDR-Capable Monitors or TVs

The PS5 supports HDR Output, which affects the lighting and colors in Final Fantasy 16. If you feel like it's still too dark to see even at max valued brightness, consider buying a monitor or TV that supports HDR.
