Enlarge / The kinds of colors on display here in Final Fantasy XV really pop on an HDR-compatible console and screen.
In our recent coverage of the PS4 Pro and Xbox One S, we’ve noted how the use of a high-dynamic range (HDR) color gamut has a striking effect on the apparent visual quality of a game (or a compatible video). Unfortunately, those expanded color benefits are only available on a select few titles for each console so far.
In a small bout of service journalism, we’ve compiled lists of titles that are compatible with HDR screens right now and will have support added in the near future. Reliable information on this is surprisingly hard to come by, though a list tweeted last night by Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg was a big help on the Xbox-side (he left off support for the upcoming Scalebound, however).
For the PS4, things are a bit more complicated, especially since many games that have been upgraded with higher resolutions or smoother frame rates on the PS4 Pro have pointedly not been improved with HDR color thus far. We’ve scoured announcements and update files for mention of HDR color support for PS4 titles and included the ones we could find reliable info for below.
