What are the best PS4 Pro Boost Mode games? Boost Mode is a nifty PS4 Pro feature that uses the system's additional grunt to provide improved visuals, framerates, and performance in games that aren't officially PS4 Pro Enhanced. It works across 4K and HD TVs as well, so there's really no excuse not to turn it on.
Well, unless it has an adverse effect that is. There are a few games that run worse in Boost Mode, curiously enough. It can cause crashes and various other performance-related issues. You can find out How to Enable PS4 Pro Boost Mode through the link.
But this list focuses on those that either provide benefits. We've also got lists of all 4K PS4 Pro games, all PS4 Pro games that support HDR, and all PS4 Pro Enhanced games.

@Eternallover21 The Last of Us got a Pro patch so boost mode no longer applies.
Speaking of which, I'm a bit annoyed that they Pro patched Doom because I'd take spotless frame rate over higher resolution (which I can't even see on my TV) any day.
One of my favorite boost mode games is Sniper Elite 3. It pretty much eliminates all noticeable frame drops.
Wow, awesome list guys. Did you all actually test each game individually or is this from compiled test all over the web?
This is helpful. Thank you
Yakuza benefits loads from boost mode.
I had dialled everything down for an old psplus game and had forgotten to change thee settings back. Yakuza Kiwami had regular tearing at the top of the screen and regular stutter. Boost modes now enabled and boom its perfect, the frame rate hasnt dropped since and the whole worlds in sync. Awesome feature!
Great that Tropico 5 has a framerate boost. Nothing like oppressing my subjects in a high framerate
@wiggleronacid The latter! I can't imagine how long it would take to test every game individually for framerates and other issues. Almost makes me shudder!
Gems of War also says it's enhanced by boost mode.
you need to add;
omega quintet

I had a PS4 pro back in 2016, then it got stolen so I reverted back to my PS4 slim for a few years now I've got another PS4 pro arriving in a few days (super excited BTW) so this list is incredible 😁👍
Horizon Zero Dawn?
Haven't played it in a while, so can't recall if it has a 'boost mode' as such, but it looks stunning if you have the Pro rendering at 4K and supersampling down to a 1080p screen.
