For a long time First Person Shooter video games have been known for showcasing state of the art graphical advancements. Today technologies like raytracing, photogrammetry, Unreal Engine’s lumen,
Metahuman etc are used to create the most eye watering, photorealistic graphics in FPS
games. Some FPS games take a different art direction. While they can definitely be beautiful
looking, this list focuses on the FPS games which look closer to real life with life-like character design, incredible lighting, reflections and realistic weather effects. We are into the “Third” decade of the Twenty First Century so here are the most photorealistic graphically advanced First Person Shooter games of the 2020s.
This list focuses on the photorealistic FPS games that launched between 2020 and 2023 and are presented in chronological order starting from the year 2020 to 2023. Hope to see many more incredible looking games to join this list, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl, Pioner, Delta Force Hawk Ops, etc. I am playing on a Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 7 Octa Core – (16 GB/1 TB SSD/Windows 10 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060). External monitor, Samsung Odessy G7! Curved 2K HDR monitor!
Please note due to Youtube compression and editing the video quality is not as good as the original recording. I mostly play games on HDR which makes games look even better, but while editing the quality and colors of the video are reduced.
