These are the 15 best video games to put your 4K HDR screen to the test

The "Forza" franchise is specifically developed for the Xbox One, and features stunning replicas of more than 500 real-life car models.

With varying weather conditions and hundreds of miles of open road to explore between races, "Forza Horizon 4" offers a mix of true-to-life detail and bombastic colors that's ideal for 4K HDR TVs.

"Marvel's Spider-Man" is probably the most impressive-looking PlayStation 4 exclusive, offering an impressive recreation of Manhattan for the titular hero to explore.

Spider-Man's signature swinging ability lets players explore New York City from all angles, and 4K resolution makes it even easier to see the skyscrapers on the horizon.

"Red Dead Redemption 2" is due out October 26th, but is already promising to be one of the largest open-world games ever. Rockstar Games spent seven years sculpting the landscape of the Wild West and its frontier towns, resulting in an astonishing level of graphical detail.

Contrasting the open plains of "Red Dead Redemption 2," "Resident Evil 7" is a horror game set in a moldy, decrepit house in the bayous of Louisiana. Developer Capcom created a brand new engine for the game to take advantage of virtual reality development tools.

In order to create a compelling VR environment, Capcom added a host of enhanced textures to the game and updated models to appear more realistic even when the game is played without VR. Furthermore the added contrast of HDR makes the darkest areas of the game even more haunting.

At base, video games make the most of the fine detail that 4K provides and HDR helps games feel more immersive. As movies and television work to catch up with new visual technology, video games will continue to be one of the best ways to explore ultra HD with the added bonus of an interactive experience.
