In S-GAME’s Phantom Blade Zero, launching October 28th for GeForce RTX and RTX Spark devices, you play as Soul, a swordsman framed for murdering his master. Gravely wounded in the heart and left with just sixty-six days to live, he roams the Wulin alone and hunted, determined to unravel a conspiracy that has ensnared the martial world.

Choose from over thirty primary weapons and more than twenty unique Phantom Edges, mixing and matching them to suit your playstyle. Claim new weapons from fallen foes and expand your arsenal as you fight your way through the Wulin. Combat flows through seamless combos that are easy to learn yet rewarding to master.

Drawing from the golden age of wuxia cinema, Phantom Blade Zero fuses traditional martial arts with punk fantasy. Cold steel and mechanical prosthetics collide in its dark, distinctive vision of Kungfupunk.

Phantom Blade Zero is accelerated by DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, and its PC-exclusive path-traced lighting and effects are further refined and enhanced by DLSS Ray Reconstruction.

Pre-orders now available on Steam and the Epic Games Store; for the best possible experience when Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 28th, download and install our new GeForce Game Ready Driver.

War erupts on the Korean Peninsula as North Korea launches a full-scale invasion that threatens to destabilize the world in Call of Duty^Ⓡ: Modern Warfare 4^Ⓡ.

In the campaign, a young squad of South Korean soldiers fight to survive on the collapsing front lines, while half a world away a vengeful Captain Price wages a personal war from the shadows as he stays one step ahead of those hunting him. As Price’s off-book mission collides with the forces behind the invasion, the war spreads beyond anyone’s control.

In multiplayer, battle against foes in Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, Search and Destroy, and new mode Inflation, where every elimination builds your fortune and makes you a bigger target.

And in DMZ, Call of Duty’s definitive extraction shooter features a living world with unpredictable enemy encounters, weather, and objectives all brought together by meaningful match-to-match progression and inventory systems. Whether you plan to infil solo or with a squad, this volatile conflict zone offers numerous paths to choose from.

Call of Duty^Ⓡ: Modern Warfare 4^Ⓡ Campaign Early Access began October 16th, featuring our suite of DLSS 4.5 technologies, and DMZ Early Access began yesterday. Finally, on the 23rd, the full launch follows, adding multiplayer.

In all modes, DLSS Super Resolution will accelerate gameplay and enhance image quality. On GeForce RTX 40 Series systems, DLSS Frame Generation will further boost frame rates. And on GeForce RTX 50 Series systems, players can activate DLSS Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, with up to 6X multiplication, offering an ideal balance between image quality and performance, perfect for maximizing frame rates.

Additionally, NVIDIA Reflex can be enabled on all GeForce RTX systems, further reducing PC latency, making gameplay even more responsive.

And finally, we released a new GeForce Game Ready Driver today - by installing it, all GeForce RTX gamers can benefit from Advanced Shader Delivery in Call of Duty^Ⓡ: Modern Warfare 4^Ⓡ.

Advanced Shader Delivery downloads precompiled shaders for you before you play, enabling you to skip the dreaded “compiling shaders” screen, so you can start playing without delay. Learn more here.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering elevates image quality, realism and immersion to new heights.

Where other DLSS technologies focus on reconstructing existing scene data to deliver higher-resolution images, additional frames, or cleaner ray-traced lighting, DLSS Neural Rendering takes the next step by using AI to generate the lifelike lighting and material details that real-time performance constraints have forced developers to strip away, allowing them to realize their original artistic vision.

Neural Rendering uses the game engine’s rendered frame, complete with its artist-designed geometry, textures, and lighting buffers, as an unyielding foundation. DLSS Neural Rendering becomes the final rendering stage of the graphics pipeline, infusing scenes with lifelike lighting and materials while ensuring the engine frame defines what must remain, and the artist directs what may change.

DLSS 5 debuted in NBA 2K27 last month, enhancing texture detail, skin subsurface scattering, contact shadowing, hair rendering, and more, bringing the likenesses of players even closer to reality:

Last week, NBA 2K27’s Season 2 update introduced a new, more performant DLSS 5 AI model that increases frame rates by up to 1.4X on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, RTX Spark laptops, and GeForce NOW:

DLSS 5’s 3D-Guided Neural Rendering model is now 10X faster overall compared to the model debuted in March, enabling more players of NBA 2K27 and future DLSS 5 games to enjoy DLSS 5’s transformative uplift in lighting and materials at higher frames rates and settings.

NBA 2K27 Season 2 introduces GOAT Builds that let players recreate NBA legends with attributes and physical profiles beyond the standard MyPLAYER Builder limits. Players can also hit the remastered Sunset Beach courts, tackle new MyTEAM challenges, and unlock Halloween-themed cosmetics and all-new seasonal rewards. For more information on Season 2, you can check out the full Courtside Report.

Build a wilder world in Planet Zoo 2, the anticipated sequel to Frontier Developments’ zoo simulation game. Let your creativity soar by constructing and managing distinctive zoos around the world, full of awe-inspiring animals, including fully aquatic and flying species for the first time. Plus, take the next step in animal conservation and release your species into customisable, expansive Wildlife Reserves.

Construct beautiful habitats for your animals to thrive in as they interact with the world around them in authentic ways. From authentic herding behaviours to grazing on the vegetation you provide for them. Experience a generational leap of animal detail and immersion with incredible natural movements and expressive emotions that bring each animal to life like never before.

Planet Zoo 2 recently launched, and an update shortly thereafter added a suite of DLSS 4.5 technologies, including Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and Super Resolution, giving players the performance headroom to enable the game’s ray-traced reflection, shadow and global illumination lighting settings that heighten immersion and detail of your zoo and animals.

CD PROJEKT RED’s action-RPG is receiving a new update on October 22nd, upgrading Cyberpunk 2077’s entire DLSS suite of technologies to DLSS 4.5, and adding Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, further optimizing your experience on GeForce RTX and RTX Spark devices.

Classic PC games are remembered for their incredible stories, characters and gameplay, but dated visuals can make them tough for modern players to enjoy. NVIDIA RTX Remix changes that, enabling modders to reimagine games with path tracing and DLSS, adding stunning detail.

Today, we’re excited to spotlight Left 4 Dead RTX, an ambitious in-development project by NoMercyStudios and published by NightSightProductions (headed by @King Vulpes). Built to bring Valve’s iconic co-op zombie shooter into the next generation, the mod leverages cutting-edge NVIDIA technologies including RTX Neural Radiance Cache (NRC), DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and Multi Frame Generation to completely transform the game’s lighting and visual fidelity.

Developing a mod of this scale solo can be a demanding journey, so this announcement is a call to action for the community. The team is actively looking for passionate developers to join the project and help bring this vision to life. While future playtests prior to a full demo release are still under consideration, you can keep up with development updates in their Discord group, and apply to join the community on the Left 4 Dead RTX project page.

The biggest annual update to THE FINALS has arrived. Embark Studios’ free-to-play, first-person shooter Game Show is set in a futuristic world of high-stakes competition and explosive action, with Arenas filled with destructible buildings and cover, creating chaotic, dynamic multiplayer matches.

The PRIME TIME update reworks classic Arenas with enhanced lighting, models, materials, textures, and more. A new Light class infiltration playstyle has been introduced with two new gadgets, the UI and HUD have been revamped, a pioneering Dynamic Commentary has been introduced, bringing players’ names into the action in real time, and the game’s much lauded unscripted destruction system has received a massive update, making matches even more exciting and dynamic.

THE FINALS’ environments can be completely blown apart by explosives and an arsenal of weapons, enabling players to reshape the map and turn destruction into a tactical advantage. As buildings are blown open, and walls come crashing down, the world’s lighting needs to react realistically as light is occluded or disoccluded. To make this a reality, NVIDIA RTXGI is used to accurately calculate and update light and shadow in real-time on all platforms.

With a GeForce RTX GPU or RTX Spark device, RTXGI can leverage hardware-accelerated ray tracing to produce richer and more realistic global illumination effects. When enabled, you’ll experience light realistically bouncing around the environment, reacting to destruction, and interacting with volumetric fog and smoke. And light and shadow will look even better.

To ensure frame rates stay high in this fast-paced shooter, THE FINALS has featured support for DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation since release, with a later update adding support for DLSS Multi Frame Generation. And to make gameplay even more responsive, all GeForce gamers have been able to activate Reflex since the game’s original release, reducing PC latency.

Via the NVIDIA app, these DLSS integrations can be upgraded with to our latest AI models, further enhancing image quality and accelerating performance, and enabling the use of DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation.

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 to GeForce RTX and RTX Spark systems, and head here to see the full list of over 1,000 RTX-enhanced games and apps, along with a list of all games and apps with verified support for NVIDIA app’s DLSS overrides.
