The big push for 4K and 8K gaming is more marketing hype without any real benefit to the end user.
Unless you are sitting 18 inches away from the screen you will probably not notice the difference between 1080p and 4K on most games, and certainly the move to 8K would require you be playing on screens 8ft wide to get any benefits for the extra pixel density.
What does matter for a lot of games is the FPS and refresh rate which is much easier to achieve decent number at the lower resolutions.
I would much rather play a game in 720p at 100fps than a 4K one at 30fps.
