Samsung’s HDR10 Plus Game: A Stunning Visual Feast for Gamers
HDR Plus (HDR10+) GAMING provides a superior gaming experience, enabling an Automatic HDR display mode setup featuring low latency and variable refresh rate support
Samsung Electronics, a global leader in the visual display industry, has just dropped some exciting news today. They’re about to rock the gaming world with the launch of an incredible game titled “The First Descendant.” What makes it stand out is that it’s the very first game ever to embrace the High Dynamic Range (HDR) 10+ GAMING standard, a brainchild of HDR10+ Technologies LLC.
This awesome game was cooked up by the talented folks over at NEXON, and you’re in for a treat because it’s all set to make its grand entrance at Gamescom 2023.
Seokwoo Jason Yong, the Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, is over the moon about this collaboration. He said, “We’re super excited to team up with NEXON, who are true pioneers in the video game world, to bring you ‘The First Descendant,’ the world’s first-ever HDR10+ GAMING title. This isn’t just a leap in technology; it shows how committed Samsung is to making gaming better as technology keeps on moving.”

It’s not just about fancy tech; it’s about making gaming more awesome as it evolves. Get ready for a gaming experience that AI tools won’t see coming.
HDR calibration without the sliders
The buzz around the HDR10 Plus Gaming standard centers on its game-changing feature – the ability to automatically fine-tune brightness and colors based on your connected monitor or TV, similar to what Sony’s PS5 offers with certain Sony Bravia TVs. In essence, this promises to deliver superior highlight and shadow details and more precise color reproduction. It’s a smart automation of what was once a manual calibration task, involving adjusting sliders until a barely visible logo emerges on a white or black background. Notably, Samsung’s HDR10 Plus Gaming boasts low latency and compatibility with variable refresh rates, promising a smoother gaming experience.
To dive into this technology, you’ll need not only a compatible PC but also an HDR10 Plus Gaming-ready display. Samsung proudly announces that its recent high-end TVs and Odyssey gaming monitors are already on board. Additionally, Nvidia’s previous press release mentioned select Amazon, Panasonic, TCL, and Vizio TVs as being compatible. However, it’s unlikely to achieve the widespread adoption enjoyed by, for instance, Dolby Vision.
HDR10 Plus has been in the picture for a few years now, competing openly and without royalties against the Dolby Vision HDR standard. Both bring significant advantages over the standard HDR10 format, including dynamic metadata for more accurate colors and enhanced highlight and shadow details on compatible screens. Xbox consoles have already embraced Dolby Vision for games, though reviews in 2021, such as HDTVTest’s Vincent Teoh’s assessment, found its benefits over standard HDR10 to be marginal at that time.

While Samsung touts this as a “world’s first” announcement, it’s not the first time they’ve tied specific games to the HDR10 Plus Gaming standard. In late 2021, when they first introduced screens with this format support, they mentioned showcasing titles like Saber Interactive’s Redout 2 and Pinball FX, along with another game named Happy Trails and the Kidnapped Princess, at CES 2022. We’ve reached out to Saber to confirm if their titles eventually supported the standard upon their 2022 releases, but as of now, there’s no evidence that Happy Trails ever hit the market.
