Prepare to escape death in a heart-stopping survival horror experience that will chill you to your core! Resident Evil™ Requiem, the latest and most immersive entry yet in the iconic Resident Evil series, intertwines the fate of two protagonists – Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy – as they investigate a series of strange deaths that may just lead to uncovering the hidden truth behind the infamous 1998 Raccoon City Incident.

Experience the horror up close and personal with tense, realistic gameplay in first-person perspective, or use the over-the-shoulder camera with third-person perspective that allows you to create a more action-heavy gameplay experience.

While the Resident Evil series first began on console systems, many gamers, including those who are playing it for the first time, now experience it on PC. The latest installment, Resident Evil Requiem, is being optimized for a wide range of PCs ahead of its release on February 26th at 9pm PT.

On GeForce RTX PCs, gamers can activate immersive path-traced effects that are further enhanced by DLSS Ray Reconstruction. And GeForce RTX 50 Series gamers can multiply frame rates using DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, enabling high-res, max setting gameplay.

In a game like Resident Evil Requiem, the expression of light and shadow is crucial, whether it’s flickering hallway lights, neon-lit streets glowing in the night, or the flame of a lighter illuminating the path ahead. With path tracing implemented, Resident Evil Requiem now renders multiple shadows from various light sources, as well as complex lighting effects like reflections and refractions through glass, with more natural lighting, enhancing immersion during gameplay.

Take a look at path-traced and DLSS 4-accelerated gameplay, below:

Pearly Abyss’ Crimson Desert is a highly anticipated open-world action-adventure game, building upon the success of Black Desert. Through a world of exploration and intense action, Crimson Desert depicts the journey of the Greymanes in the beautiful yet brutal continent of Pywel. You will play as Kliff, a Greymane who is determined to reunite with his surviving comrades and rebuild what was lost after a devastating ambush leaves them dead or scattered across the lands. On a journey where alliances are forged, dangers abound, and mysterious factions are uncovered, Kliff comes to realize that an unprecedented threat and a destiny greater than he imagined await him.

Visit bustling towns and quiet hamlets, venture across vast plains, deserts, and mountains, and explore forgotten ruins, shrines, and other unique landmarks of the continent’s distinct regions. Gather resources, craft, hunt, and partake in the various activities of Pywel to also aid in your journey. The world is yours to explore as you will and there are many paths for you to uncover; ride mounts from horses to even a dragon and mechs, scale cliffsides and walls which you can leap from to glide, and go through mystical gates to find yourself in the mysterious realm known as the Abyss.

When Crimson Desert launches on March 19th, it will include support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and its visuals will be further improved by ray-traced effects, which can be enhanced by DLSS Ray Reconstruction.

In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster, turning soil to sludge and the living to undead monsters. Leon Dorsey, the genius behind the experiment, had a plan to make things right: hire a team of highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. That’s why he hired the Toxic Commandos.

Tag team as a squad of up to four players, featuring full crossplay support. Send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld as you drive across semi-open maps and tear through the wasteland. Find how your squad clicks, shooting swarms of enemies together and smashing them under the wheels of your favorite ride for that pure rush of satisfaction. Unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and even freaking katanas. When mutated monstrosities swarm from every angle, teamwork isn't optional—it's survival.

Ahead of the launch of John Carpenter's Toxic Commando on March 12th, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have released a demo, which will be available until March 3rd. Featuring the first act of the game, the hub area, and full co-op play, this is a meaty slice of gameplay to dive into.

In both the demo and full game, GeForce RTX gamers can activate DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and NVIDIA DLAA, for those seeking the highest levels of image quality. Furthermore, DLSS Super Resolution can be upgraded to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution via the NVIDIA app’s DLSS overrides.

Launching later today, the Shrouded Sky Update is the fourth free content update for the mega popular ARC Raiders since launch, and the second update from its Escalation roadmap. 

Shrouded Sky Update brings additional new gameplay and map-based features to excite and delight players, alongside additional content and quality of life improvements, and in-game store updates.

Hurricane, a new permanent map condition adapts the tutorial’s severe wind condition, slowing movement, affecting the trajectory of thrown items, such as grenades, reducing player vision and hearing, and making players more visible outside due to debris causing shields to shimmer. To ensure continued success, players will require new strategies and tactics.

Players will also have to face off against two new ARC Machines, the Comet and Firefly, they can contribute to the new Weather Monitoring System project for new rewards, and can check out new quest-related changes to Dam Battlegrounds, and a new Surgeon Raider Deck.

And finally, the new Expedition window is opening between February 25th and March 1st, enabling players to obtain an additional 5 permanent skill points to enhance their character’s capabilities.

When you venture into ARC Raiders’ world to experience these new additions, enhance immersion, increase responsiveness and accelerate frame rates with a suite of NVIDIA technologies. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, working in concert with DLSS Super Resolution, will multiply performance. NVIDIA Reflex will reduce PC latency, allowing your actions to occur faster in-game, making gameplay feel more responsive. And NVIDIA RTXGI uses the power of ray tracing to make lighting more realistic and responsive.

Additionally, NVIDIA app users can upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution by following the steps here, further enhancing image quality, most noticeably when using DLSS Performance and Ultra Performance modes.

There are even more DLSS integrations arriving soon for a whole host of games. Return regularly for a rundown of the next DLSS and RTX titles, and head here to see the full list of RTX-enhanced games and apps, along with a list of all games and apps with verified support for NVIDIA app’s DLSS overrides.
