By Editor_wr On Aug 21, 2024

In December, NVIDIA celebrated the release of over 500 RTX-enhanced games and apps. Currently, they have already surpassed 600 RTX games and apps, as the adoption of NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex and advanced ray-traced effects continues to accelerate. At Gamescom 2024, NVIDIA has announced that 20 new games are adding DLSS and RTX technologies.

Additionally, NVIDIA is showcasing the future of gaming in Mecha BREAK. This is the first game to display NVIDIA ACE and digital human technologies. More enhancements and triple-A titles are coming to GeForce NOW with RTX technologies. NVIDIA has also launched the Star Wars Outlaws GeForce RTX 40 Series Bundle and released a new GeForce Game Ready Driver for Black Myth: Wukong and Star Wars Outlaws.

20 New DLSS & RTX Games

The time has finally come to embark on a thrilling journey through Chinese mythology in Black Myth: Wukong. Out now, this much-anticipated action role-playing game from Game Science is enhanced by full ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 3. This increases the fidelity and quality of lighting, reflections, and shadows. It also lets players with GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs and Ultimate GeForce NOW members play on max settings without problems.

As a part of NVIDIA’a collaboration with Ubisoft, Massive Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games on Star Wars Outlaws, NVIDIA is introducing a new Star Wars Outlaws GeForce RTX 40 Series Bundle, available until September 19.

This will let gamers experience all the benefits of the RTX technology in Star Wars Outlaws. From DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction to RTX Dynamic Illumination and NVIDIA Reflex, players will get more frames, lower latency and more beautiful sights of a galaxy far away. Even those without access to GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs can have the same experience thanks to GeForce NOW.

Players can use DLSS 3.5 and full Ray Tracing to uncover one of history’s greatest mysteries in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, launching later this year from publisher Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. This will make the player’s adventures in the hallowed halls of the Vatican and the sunken temples of Sukhothai far more immersive and smooth. NVIDIA is giving away a GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Founders Edition graphics card and a custom Indiana Jones backplate to celebrate their technical partnership with Machine Games and Bethesda Softworks.

In other RTX news, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is launching with Ray Tracing, DLSS 3 and Reflex, and Dune: Awakening is launching with DLSS 3 and Reflex. FINAL FANTASY XVI is also coming to PC meaning that the world of Valisthea and the spectacle of each Eikon will have never looked better thanks to DLSS 3, DLAA, and Reflex. Players can download a demo before the game’s release on September 17th. This will give players a taste of how much the game is even better with the said additions. Those without upgraded hardware can also experience it on GeForce NOW.

There are new games on the way with DLSS 3 and Reflex, letting gamers experience the best performance possible no matter their preferred environment, including:

The latest GeForce Game Driver includes day-1 support for Black Myth Wukong, Star Wars Outlaws, FINAL FANTASY XVI, Concord, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Players can download GeForce Game Drivers in the Drivers tab of the NVIDIA app beta, GeForce Experience or GeForce.com. They help optimize the player’s experience from the start.

ACE & digital human technologies showcased in first game, Mecha BREAK

NVIDIA ACE is a revolutionary suite of digital human technologies that bring digital humans to life. ACE made its debut in the Ramen Shop demo at Computex 2023, but has evolved rapidly.

At Gamescom 2024, NVIDIA announced that its first digital human small language model is being demonstrated in Mecha BREAK, a new multiplayer mech game developed by Amazing Seasun Games. This is to bring its characters to life and provide a more dynamic and immersive gameplay experience on GeForce RTX AI PCs. Mecha BREAK, developed by Amazing Seasun Games, a Kingsoft Corporation game subsidiary, is showcasing the NVIDIA Nemotron-4 4B Instruct NIM running on device in the first showcase of ACE-powered game interactions.

More developers are incorporating NVIDIA ACE technologies into their games and applications. Global game publisher and developer Perfect World Games is advancing its NVIDIA ACE and digital human technology demo, Legends, with new AI-powered vision capabilities. Within the demo, the character Yun Ni can see gamers and identify people and objects in the real world using the computer’s camera powered by ChatGPT-4o. This adds an augmented reality layer to the gameplay experience. These capabilities unlock a new level of immersion and accessibility for PC games.

MediaTek collaboration brings G-SYNC display tech to more gamers

NVIDIA is working with MediaTek to make the industry’s best gaming display technologies more accessible to gamers globally. The full suite of G-SYNC technologies is getting integrated into the world’s most popular scalers.

This eliminates the need for a separate G-SYNC module, streamlining the production process and reducing costs. A highlight of this collaboration is the introduction of G-SYNC Pulsar. This new technology offers 4x the effective motion clarity alongside a smooth and tear-free variable refresh rate (VRR) gaming experience. It will debut on newly announced monitors, including the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQNR, Acer Predator XB273U F5 and AOC AGON PRO AG276QSG2. These 2560×1440 Pulsar monitors, expected later this year, feature 360Hz refresh rates and HDR support.
