Recommendation for a great immersion (cinematic movies and of course videogames) is 40 degrees FOV.

Sitting 20 feet away from a 65‘‘ TV are 15 degrees FOV resulting in a very shitty immersion.

I also wonder how do you read the text of a game in that distance.

20/20 vision is being able to distinguish 30 cycles per degree (at max contrast, it's lower for lower contrast) which is the same as 60 pixels per degree. 40 degree fov comes to 2400 pixels wide, thus 2560x1440p is more than enough for great immersion.

Most people sit more in the 20 to 30 degree fov range, 1200 to 1800 pixels width, 1080p is plenty for that. You do need descent anti aliasing since it's easy to pick up on (unwanted) patterns, aka pixel crawl and shimmer. However native 4K is not needed for great immersion.

Keep in mind that 20/20 vision isn't the maximum extent the human vision can go... You can have better than 20/20 and 30 cycles per degree.
