As the title asks, how does one actually use HDR for games after upgrading to Plasma 6?

This was the feature I was most excited about, and I can hit the HDR button on my display configuration and it looks like the desktop is going into HDR mode, but so far I have had zero luck enabling the HDR feature in games. Every game I’ve tried had the HDR toggle disabled with no way to enable it.

I am running these games under Proton and I’ve tried both 8-GE and 9 Beta. Any tips?

Edit: probably important to note that I am using an AMD GPU under Wayland

    If gnome supports hdr too you can. Kde’s support is a part of the stack that needs to support hdr for it to work. The programs and drivers can speak hdr all they want but if the compositor (kde) doesn’t understand and relay the info to the monitor it won’t work.
