Scheduled for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S and PC, The First Descendant -developed by Nexon- is the very first video game to benefit from HDR10+ Gaming compatibility presented at the end of 2021 in our columns.
HDR10+ Gaming, competitor of HDR Dolby Vision
Established by the company HDR10+ Technologies -co-founded by Samsung in 2018 with 20th Century Fox and Panasonic- the HDR10+ Gaming format offers an image standard dedicated to open and royalty-free video games, offering colors, contrast and deeper luminosity, for even more accurate rendering of details in the darkest and brightest areas. Basically, it's about competing with HDR Dolby Vision in the gaming market.
HDR10+ Gaming in more detail
Of course, HDR10+ Gaming supports VRR up to 120Hz, ALLM function and automatic HDR calibration. For this last clarification, this means that in the presence of an HDR10+ Gaming compatible diffuser, the appropriate source automatically optimizes the colors (Tone Mapping) and the brightness of the video signal (especially in dark and bright areas) to fully exploit its capabilities. . For the moment, on the hardware side, HDR10+ Gaming is supported by Samsung (Q70 and higher models since the 2022 range), certain Hisense references and nVidia Geforce RTX/GTX 16 graphics cards.
A cooperative shooter (trailer below), The First Descendant is currently being shown at Gamescom 2023 in Cologne. It will enter beta testing from September 19.
