BULKHEAD and Team 17’s WARDOGS is an All-Out Warfare FPS that combines tactical gunplay and combined arms combat with building and destruction mechanics in a large open map, where one hundred players split across three teams fight over the control zone. The team with the most players within the Control Zone earns points, and the first team to reach 100 points wins the match. The variables in zone location and individual player tactics mean no match ever plays out the same.

Each life, you purchase a custom loadout from a wide selection of weapons, gear, utility, and vehicles to help your team win the match. Every teamplay action you perform rewards cash. From reviving squadmates, transporting friendlies to the zone, or controlling the objective. Cash persists from match to match, so spending big on better gear, equipment, or a vehicle at the right time has the potential to turn the tide of battle and could yield massive returns.

WARDOGS has wracked up over 1.5 million Wishlists, over 500,000 gamers played the August closed beta, and BULKHEAD has announced that the eagerly-anticipated shooter will officially enter Early Access on September 10th.

GeForce RTX gamers entering WARDOGS’ warzones will discover day-one support for DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, enhancing image quality and accelerating performance, for the best possible experience. And NVIDIA Reflex will optimize PC latency, ensuring your actions occur faster, potentially giving you a competitive advantage on the game’s massive battlefields.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is the high-stakes winner-take-all free-to-play shooter that started the Battle Royale craze. Drop into diverse maps, loot unique weapons and supplies, and survive in an ever-shrinking zone where every turn could be your last.

On September 10th, the perpetually-popular PUBG will add support for DLSS Super Resolution, which players can upgrade to our latest DLSS 4.5 models by using NVIDIA app’s DLSS overrides, accelerating performance and enhancing image quality in every match and mode.

NVIDIA has continuously redefined the boundaries of PC gaming. From introducing real-time ray tracing to pioneering AI-powered graphics with DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction, our RTX technologies have transformed how games are rendered and experienced.

Now, we’ve released DLSS 5, which introduces 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, a major step forward in using AI to bring real-time graphics closer than ever to Hollywood-grade photorealism.

Watch how DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering and its artistic controls work from Edward Liu, NVIDIA’s Director of Applied Deep Learning Research, and Gabriele Leone, Director of Content Technology

DLSS 5 is available now in NBA 2K27, by developer Visual Concepts and publisher 2K, for all GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and laptops, and GeForce NOW. It marks the debut of how the technology can be used by game artists to elevate visual fidelity in alignment with their creative vision.

“What’s great is the level of control that it gives us. We can set the overall tone and style to match our existing art direction and then really get precise where it matters most, using a per pixel uplift control mask to fine tune detail on characters. Given that we want to respect their likeness with the utmost care.” - Peter Kavic, Senior Producer - Visual Concepts

2x NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Tyrese Haliburton recently joined NVIDIA GeForce Evangelist Jacob Freeman to get a first look at DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27. Check out what he had to say about his lifelike game appearance in the clip below:

CD PROJEKT RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, one of the best-selling and highest-rated role-playing games of all time, is being improved with a slew of upgrades and enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered.

The partnership between NVIDIA and CD PROJEKT RED began when the game was originally released in 2015, before it was updated with even more features in 2022 through the Next-Gen Update. And on September 29th, NVIDIA will be delivering even more cutting-edge features through Remastered.

The free upgrade includes a reimagined skill system, overhauled animations, improved combat, Cross Platform Mod Support, immersive meditation, an expanded photo mode, and much more. When it comes to NVIDIA technology in particular, players can upgrade to path tracing, with line swept sphere (LSS) path-traced hair rendering enhancing the game’s famous NVIDIA HairWorks technology. And to ensure these new path-traced effects look their very best, DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction is also being introduced.

Additionally, DLSS Super Resolution is being upgraded to version 4.5, increasing detail and image quality. Frame Generation will run faster and with lower latency. And Dynamic Multi Frame Generation will allow up to 6X frame multiplication on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. These join NVIDIA technologies already

available in The Witcher 3, including DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, NVIDIA Reflex,

ray-traced lighting, ambient occlusion, shadows and reflections, and higher-detail presets for other settings.

Every feature introduced through Remastered will also be applied to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt —Songs of the Past, a new expansion launching in 2027, which you can take a first look at below in its debut trailer:

Gaijin Entertainment's Active Matter is a hardcore military online PvPvE, PvE and PvP shooter set in a multiverse shattered by a quantum catastrophe. Each player controls an operative stuck in a time loop, always brought back from the dead to the same point, and enters quantum unstable zones rich with active matter - a substance capable of warping and ripping the very fabric of space and time.

Rivals from other timelines, physics-breaking anomalies that change gravitational force, and ethereal beings stand in the way. Players harvest active matter, collect the loot and extract to a safe area before the whole zone ceases to exist with everything inside it.

Active Matter launches on Steam on September 15th, following the release of an Early Version via the game’s official website last year. The launch version adds new content, and includes support for DLSS 4.5 with Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, which accelerate and enhance image quality, and give you the performance headroom to activate the game’s ray-traced reflections, and ray-traced shadows settings.

Gamers can also dive into Active Matter even without the latest hardware by streaming it on GeForce NOW at launch on September 15th.

Pawprint Studios' Aniimo is a free-to-play, next-gen creature-catching open-world RPG. Players can explore the vast continent of Idyll, alive with beauty and the perfect setting to capture, to Twine, to find answers and for the Aniimo themselves to reach their full potential. Challenge, race, discover... immersive exploration ensures every step of the journey is engaging. Whether they're gliding, diving, burrowing... players can step foot anywhere, solo or with friends.

Aniimo officially launches on September 16th, featuring day-one support for DLSS 4.5 with Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, giving GeForce RTX enhanced image quality and accelerated performance.

And in early 2027, Aniimo will introduce support for NVIDIA ACE, enabling players to interact with their creatures:

Instead of navigating traditional menus, players will interact with their Aniimo using natural language. Chat with them, teach them new skills, and dispatch them to gather resources via voice inputs. Each Aniimo will display dynamic emotions based on player responses, fostering a more authentic and meaningful connection with the creatures that live and work alongside them.

The NVIDIA ACE integration is powered by a locally-hosted, fine-tuned Nemotron Small Language Model (SLM) running on a player’s GPU. This powers each Aniimo's intelligence, allowing them to interpret player intent and trigger in-game behavior APIs for realistic actions and reactions.

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 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.
