Just go to the display settings in the system menu. Once you鈥檙e there, you should see a slider for adjusting the brightness. Easy peasy.
Honestly, just keep it at max brightness. Makes everything look better and you won't miss any details in those darker game scenes.
I usually just adjust the brightness directly from the quick settings menu. It's super fast and I don't have to interrupt my game too much.
