Important Packaging Notice

Gameloft has issued a clarification regarding physical copies of the game for Xbox platforms. The packaging for these physical editions incorrectly lists the game as HDR10 compatible. The developer has confirmed that HDR10 is not supported in the game and has apologized for the misprint on the physical materials. Players should be aware that this feature will not be present regardless of the information printed on the box.
