Well, it might be getting upscaled and then downscaled again.

We'd need confirmation that the PC version was native 4k and not just being upscaled.

I'm not that up on PC but I was under the impression that lots of games didn't run internally at full output resolution, even if your HDMI output is claiming a specific size.

Downscaling is widely employed at stages of the rendering pipeline where a full resolution buffer wouldn't make much difference (eg. reflections, post effects), but overall when you turn on 4k, you're mostly getting 4k. This is trivially verifiable by zooming in on a screenshot.
