Did you just buy an HDR monitor? Now you need some of the best pc gaming for hdr to accompany him. Many titles are not supported or come with a horrible implementation (we’re watching you, destiny 2). We’ve put together a list that will help you get the most out of your gaming rig and offer a lot of fun without too much hassle.

ForzaHorizon 5

  • Platforms: PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
  • Gender: Racing, Sport
  • Developer: Playground Games
  • Editor: Xbox Game Studios
  • Launching: November 9, 2021

For some games, HDR focuses on the highlights and shadows, and for others, it focuses on the in-between.. ForzaHorizon 5 falls into the latter category. HDR pushes dynamic range to its limits, but it’s the softer tones in between that stand out.

On ForzaHorizon 5, HDR is not about highlighting the sun in the sky, but about bringing a sense of realism to the wonderful map of Mexico. It’s a bit off-putting at first: HDR is supposed to make colors pop, but in this game it blurs them.

However, the harsh, direct lighting of Mexico washes out the color, and after a while, you’ll appreciate that extra level of realism.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

  • Platforms: PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S
  • Gender: Platform, Adventure
  • Developer: Moon Studios
  • Editor: Xbox Game Studios, iam8bit
  • Launching: March 10, 2020
Ori and the Will of the Wisps

It’s no secret that Ori and the Will of the Wisps it’s a beautiful game, but you have to play it with HDR to appreciate its depth. It is one of the best implementations with this feature that can be found on PC.

HDR works particularly well in the game thanks to its variety of level designs showing what careful attention to technical detail can do when combined with gorgeous art design.

Silent Woods is solemn and dark, with the blue tint of night lighting up the area, while Baur’s Reach is vibrant with its snowy backdrops and hints of orange and purple. The HDR in Ori and the Will of the Wisps it seems to extract colors that shouldn’t exist, and it looks better than many AAA games.

Cyberpunk 2077

  • Platforms: PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
  • Gender: Role-playing game (RPG)
  • Developer: CD Projekt RED
  • Editor: CD Projekt RED
  • Launching: December 09, 2020
Cyberpunk 2077 PlayStation Store

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way since its release, and now that the performance issues are mostly behind it, it’s easy to appreciate the vibrant world of Night City.

Turning on HDR isn’t enough with most displays as, combined with ray tracing, it leads to weird halos and terrible color mapping. However, you don’t have to give up HDR immediately.

Cyberpunk 2077 It offers a few sliders to adjust the look, including a separate option for HDR in the menus (a setting many HDR games on PC lack).

With the right settings for your screen, you can bring Night City to life with HDR in a way you’ve never seen before.

hitman 3

  • Platforms: PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
  • Gender: Shooter, Tactical, Adventure
  • Developer: I.O.Interactive
  • Editor: I.O.Interactive
  • Launching: January 20, 2021
HITMAN 3 with a gun held high in his face.

The rebooted Hitman trilogy looks amazing, and all three games feature wonderful HDR. We liked it Hitman 3 because of the levels and how they show this visual feature on the screen.

All three games feature a fairly muted color palette, emphasizing shadows in deep corners that might hide a stealthy assassin. Hitman 3 it does too, but with a surprising splash of color in the world.

If you want a quick hit of HDR, fire up the Chongqing level to see the bright neon lights reflecting off the city’s streets, which are drenched in rain. That’s the best showcase, but all six levels have a dynamic and vibrant look.

In addition to Chongqing, you must play in Dubai, which will draw you in with its open-air cinematic intro and Gatsby-style sets, as well as Berlin, with its colorful club atmosphere, casual open-air bar and harsh lighting. from the “warehouse” of the fund.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

  • Platforms: PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S
  • Gender: Hack and slash/Beat ’em up, Adventure, Indie
  • Developer: Ninja Theory
  • Editor: Ninja Theory
  • Launching: August 08, 2017
Senua from Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice assault your senses. That is the object of the game. The audio experience will take you far, and the beautifully detailed world is built on top of that. But to fully appreciate the story and themes of hell bladeyou have to play it with HDR enabled.

Developer Ninja Theory has made a name for itself for its beautiful visuals over the past two decades, but hell blade it is a technical marvel. It looks better than many games that come out in 2022, and that came out in 2017. Of course, we do not recommend playing the HDR demo version.

elysium disk

  • Platforms: PC (Microsoft Windows), Mac
  • Gender: Role-playing game (RPG), Adventure
  • Developer: ZA/UM
  • Editor: ZA/UM
  • Launching: October 15, 2019
Disco Elysium, one of the best games for Mac

elysium disk It’s an unlikely choice among the best HDR games, but it’s still pretty cool. It’s a classic non-combat RPG, and it locks players in with impeccable writing and mission design, as well as an art style of its own. It is a watercolor painting that comes to life.

Atmosphere is the name of the game, and while the art style translates without HDR, it’s better with HDR. The world of Elysium is brimming with somber colors, and HDR is one more layer that adds to the immersion.

Tetris Effect: Connected

  • Platforms: PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Meta Quest, Meta Quest 2
  • Gender: Music, Puzzle, Indie, Arcade
  • Developer: Monstars, Resonair
  • Editor: Enhance
  • Launching: May 14, 2020
Tetris Effect: Connected home screen.

If you’re looking for some eye candy, look no further than Tetris effect. It’s particle overload, and the HDR is perfectly mapped to show off the spectacular reflections of scenes evolving in the background without clipping them.

It’s HDR that borders on being too much, but with the game’s vibrant art design, it never crosses that line and is only limited by the screen you’re playing it on. It’s no secret that HDR on monitors isn’t always good, and Tetris effect it’s a game you’ll want to play on the best screen you can.

If you put it on an OLED TV like the LG CX, you will enjoy one of the most dynamic visual experiences that exists in the world of video games. Also, it’s a great game. You will load the Tetris effect for a quick particle hit and you’ll be left for hours clearing lines.

Frequent questions

How to tell if a PC game supports HDR

There isn’t a database of all PC games that support HDR, and those that do exist are often incomplete or ignore titles that don’t have proper in-game HDR settings.

I recommend that you use the PCGamingWiki to find out if a game you want to play supports HDR. This wiki lists the graphical features of most PC games, and is the most comprehensive list of HDR PC games we’ve found.

However, it is still a wiki, so there is a chance that the information you find may not be accurate. The best way to find out if a PC game supports HDR is to play it and check it in the settings menu.

How to know if your monitor supports HDR

HDR on computer monitors is defined by the VESA DisplayHDR standard. In case of supporting it, they usually come with a label, either on the box or on the product itself. If you don’t have either, you can search for your model on the DisplayHDR website to see if it’s compatible.

Although DisplayHDR is the HDR standard for PC monitors, it has several levels. The lowest tier, DisplayHDR 400, doesn’t offer the experience you’d expect from an HDR display. As DisplayHDR itself points out, not all HDR is created equal.

How to activate HDR in PC games

Most games have an HDR option in the settings menu. It is usually located in the graphics part, but can also be found in relation to the screen. Activate it, adjust the sliders (if available), and you’re done. Some titles, however, require you to turn on HDR first in Windows 10.

What can I do if HDR doesn’t look right in a game?

Follow these steps to enable HDR on Windows:

  1. press the key Windows + S at the same time and search for “HDR”.
  2. Open HDR settings and select your display if you have multiple monitors.
  3. Change the switch use HDR to On.

Your screen may flicker for a second, but then HDR will work.
