The best Ultra-HD games to play on your PS4 Pro

Eye candy.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Sure, it’s been out for a while now, but there are few games that top the most recent Lara Croft adventure for sumptuous visual splendour. Beautifully detailed environments come as standard for this expansive action adventure, but seeing them in 4K HDR is something else entirely. Better still, Crystal Dynamics understands that some players might prefer raw performance over visual opulence, and offers a bunch of simple options to tailor the experience accordingly.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4 Exclusive)

Somehow this wonderful action adventure has been rather sidelined this year, but trust us, this spin-off from the main series is deserving of the highest praise. For one thing, it has some of the most amazing set-pieces in any game in the genre (never mind this series), but seeing them running in all their no-compromise 60fps, 4K, HDR glory makes this game look years ahead of most games in the visual stakes. Given its price (somewhere around £12.99 at the time of writing) this one is a no-brainer. Also, don’t forget Uncharted 4, which also benefits from a raft of beautiful PS4 Pro enhancements.

Resident Evil 7

An absolutely stonking return to form for the survival horror series, with its best entry since the legendary Resident Evil 4 way back in 2004. On PS4 Pro, the game benefits on several fronts, not least the presence of excellent 4K and HDR, which makes the game’s many gloomy environments even more grim and atmospheric. The wretched detail of the game’s many internal environments also come to life in the game’s VR mode, which on PS4 Pro get a notable detail bump over the standard PS4. Either way, you can’t lose. The main game is fantastic, and also has some wonderful DLC, so horror fans should put this one right at the top of their list.
