Nvidia expands DLSS 4 and RTX support across major PC games
Alongside the Fortnite announcement, Nvidia confirmed various new and upcoming games integrating DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and other RTX technologies. Titles like ARK: Lost Colony, Ashes of Creation, and SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded now support DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Reflex, offering higher frame rates and lower latency for GeForce RTX players.
Dying Light: The Beast has also received a major visual upgrade with ray-traced global illumination, reflections, and shadows, while AION2 is set to add DLSS 4 support on December 24 ahead of its global launch. Lost Ark has also begun rolling out DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA, with wider regional support planned for early 2026.
Nvidia has also released a new GeForce Game Ready Driver that optimises performance in these titles and fixes colour issues seen in previous versions, rounding out a busy update cycle for RTX users.
