Announced in 2021, the display standard pushed by Samsung, HDR10 + Gaming, has so far still been very discreet. The Korean announced the first compatible video game.
The South Korean giant Samsung has teamed up with compatriot Nexon to develop the first ever truly HDR10+ Gaming compatible video game. The First Descendant will therefore be the first title to benefit from it, probably only on its version computer.
A technology that takes its time
In October 2021, Samsung announced the arrival of its brand new HDR10 + display standard for video games. At the time, the Korean behemoth already announced that three games would support this standard: Redout 2, Pinball FX et Happy Trails and the Kidnapped Princess. Games that have gone unnoticed since and that do not prevent Samsung from presenting The First Descendant as the first video game to benefit from the standard. This will be presented in good and due form during the gamescom exhibition which is being held from August 23 to 27 in Cologne, Germany. It will be a free to play to the third person which will benefit from a public beta from September 19th.
« This is a milestone in gaming that goes beyond mere technological advancement, it represents Samsung’s continued commitment to improving the gaming experience as technology evolves. said Seokwoo Jason Yong, vice president of visual display business at Samsung. The game should benefit from HDR10 + Gaming on PCs equipped with NVIDIA graphics cards, the brand having announced last year to make its RTX cards compatible with the standard.
A standard competing with a giant
Very concretely, HDR10 + is intended as the free and open competitor to Dolby Vision, which is offered under license. Originally intended for the cinematographic universe, the standard has recently evolved into a version intended for the world of video games. HDR10+ Gaming automatically adjusts in-game calibration and brightness to always deliver visible, colorful detail regardless of in-game light conditions. The standard also results in lower latency and is compatible with VRR, variable refresh rate. These brightness and contrast settings are currently still regularly to be adjusted when starting a game with a small dedicated slider.
Beyond a PC compatible with HDR10 + Gaming, you will also need a monitor compatible with the standard, such as Samsung’s Odyssey screens or one of the screens that are part of 7,000 compatible products, from 155 different brands. Unfortunately, console players will not benefit from it since neither Sony with its PlayStation 5, nor Microsoft with its Xbox Series S and X have announced compatibility.
