Best PS4 HDR Games

Below is a list of the best PS4 HDR games. Remember, you'll need a supported television in order to enable this feature.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey (PS4)

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a good-looking game to start with, but throw in HDR, and Ancient Greece has never looked better. Ubisoft's open world RPG goes the extra mile with a couple of HDR-related sliders in the settings, allowing you to get the best picture quality possible.

Days Gone (PS4)

If you're going to struggle your way through a bleak, post-apocalyptic Oregon, you might as well do it in style. Days Gone is a brilliant showcase for HDR on PS4.

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4)

Ghost of Tsushima’s oversaturated sandbox is perfect for HDR, and the title truly pops on a compatible display. Bright skies, vibrant flowers, and flowing foliage all make for a stunning visual feast.

God of War (PS4)

Santa Monica Studio's latest is a visual showpiece for PS4, but it's also one of the system's best examples of HDR. The fantastical setting lends itself to the technology brilliantly thanks to its vivid colours. Boy, it looks good.

Gran Turismo Sport (PS4)

It should be no surprise to see GT Sport on this list, as it looks absolutely stunning with HDR support. As with Assassin's Creed, though, Polyphony Digital's driving sim goes above and beyond with HDR settings in its options. It allows you to achieve the best image possible, and it's worth the extra effort.

Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4)

Guerrilla's open world action game was an early champion for HDR support, and it remains one of the best examples on PS4. The mix of the natural setting and synthetic elements, like the robot enemies and certain environments, means this game shows a huge range of visuals, and HDR takes it all to another level.

inFAMOUS: Second Son (PS4)

This might be a pretty old PS4 title by now, but its HDR support is no slouch. inFAMOUS: Second Son was an early graphical showcase for Sony's console, and HDR brings out its gorgeous colours even more. Zooming around at night with the neon powers looks amazing.

The Last of Us: Part II (PS4)

The Last of Us: Part II is comfortably one of the best looking PS4 games ever made, and frankly it looks absurdly beautiful with HDR. While its use of the technology is much more subtle than you’ll find in other games on this list, it just brings everything to life, adding yet another layer of authenticity to every scene. This game is bordering on photo-realistic.

The Last of Us Remastered (PS4)

The Last of Us Remastered was one of the first PS4 games to receive support for HDR, and it remains a great example. The game will detect your HDR-compatible TV on startup, and the results look really good. This is a game that takes you into very dark areas as well as environments brightly lit by the sun, and it all benefits from the widened contrast.

Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4)

Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Does whatever Horizon can. Looks great with, HDR, one of the, best by far. Look out! HDR Spider-Maaaaan.

Metro Exodus (PS4)

One of the few third party games on the list is Metro: Exodus, which can be a real looker — especially with HDR enabled. The game makes liberal use of light and dark, and the increased range really heightens the differences.

Ratchet & Clank (PS4)

Ratchet & Clank is a gorgeous remake of the original game, with a beautiful range of bright colours throughout the sci-fi adventure. It's a natural choice for HDR, and the result is superb.

Resident Evil 2 (PS4)

Resi 2 obviously is a pretty dark game, and HDR support really helps to bring out the contrast in light sources when you're dodging zombies and searching for ammo. It's a good-looking game without it, but HDR really adds something to the atmosphere of Raccoon City.

Resogun (PS4)

A game from way back at the PS4's launch, Resogun offers up some extremely good HDR. This is a game that's all about visual flair and flashy effects, and HDR makes all those crazy colours really stand out.

Shadow of the Colossus (PS4)

Shadow of the Colossus is one of PS4's best remakes, and this stone cold classic looks amazing — especially with HDR active. The scarce landscape might be relatively bland, but light and shadow is really highlighted well here. You might need sunglasses for the light shimmer off Wander's sword.

Tetris Effect (PS4)

HDR amplifies Tetris Effect to the nth degree. This game is all about the audiovisual experience, and the increased colour range and contrast makes those incredible stages really pop. Clearing lines has never looked better than this.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (PS4)

Uncharted has been a visual benchmark in games for years, and it does so once again with Nathan Drake's final adventure. The stylised graphical style really benefits from HDR's increased colour range, leading to a globetrotting game that looks consistently gorgeous.
