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

Eye candy.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

From the makers of Enslaved and DMC, comes Hellblade, one of the most incredible looking games around right now. Described loosely as a “psychological horror-action-adventure”, you must, among other things, rescue the soul of your dead lover, while dealing with a form of psychosis. From the moment the game boots, it emerges as something unique and special, with stellar production values that put players on a memorable journey. On the Pro, what was already a great looking game transforms it into one that you’ll want to demo your console and TV with. Take a bow, Ninja Theory.

Battlefield 1

One of many games around at the moment that has benefited from the PS4 Pro treatment (but not Xbox One X) is DICE’s World War I shooter. On Sony’s machine, the Pro version can boast enhancements to textures, resolution and frame rate, which fundamentally brings an already fine-looking game up to stunning levels of fidelity. As things stand, this is the best way to play the game on console platforms.

The Witcher 3

Apart from being a brilliant game, the great thing about CD Projekt’s classic RPG is its seemingly infinite technical scalability—as witnessed by the long list of visual and technical improvements that PS4 Pro owners can stand to benefit from. Checkerboard rendering gives a beautiful 4K output, with better texture filtering at a smooth 30fps. Buzzwords aside, the game looks absolutely glorious, and right now has the edge over the Xbox One version—until the enhanced version sees the light of day.

Ratchet & Clank

Even back in the PS2 era, Insomniac knew how to make amazing looking games, and it therefore comes as no surprise that its first PS4 Ratchet looks completely ridiculous running on a PS4 Pro. With near native 4K rendering and HDR, this is like a Pixar movie running in real-time, with the added benefit of fantastic characterisation that comes as standard in this top-notch platform shooter. Seriously, if you haven’t played a R&C game in a while, this will remind you of why we’re still talking about the series 15 years later.
