Read on to learn more.

Hotta Studio’s NTE (Neverness to Everness) is an ambitious and unique online RPG that takes place in the city of Hethereau - a vast, seamless open world rendered with the power of Unreal Engine 5, where humans co-exist with supernatural anomalies. Players control a range of vibrant and dynamic characters, each with their own unique personalities and abilities, to explore the city and investigate the anomalies in episodic comedy-drama storylines.

In addition to the core story and RPG gameplay, players can also be able to take part in an ever-expanding roster of activities, including collecting, modding, and racing sports cars, buying and designing their own chic city getaways, and even running a business. Whatever you choose to do with your time in Hethereau, the experience will always be immersive, absorbing, and never-ending.

At 8pm PT today, NTE officially launches globally. With immersive path-traced lighting, NTE’s environments are further enhanced, and by activating DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and DLSS Multi Frame Generation, GeForce RTX players can multiply frame rates and take image quality to new heights.

Take a look at NTE (Neverness to Everness) with RTX in our new, exclusive launch video:

To further enhance your NTE experience, upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution through the NVIDIA app, improving image quality.

Later today, the Age of Hatred Saga will reach its climax in Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred. This expansion for Blizzard’s critically acclaimed ARPG unites a high-stakes campaign against Mephisto, two powerful new classes, the ancient and fabled region of Skovos, and sweeping gameplay updates that redefine how players experience Sanctuary. 

In the aftermath of Vessel of Hatred, this next chapter drives players toward their final stand against Mephisto, whose deception and spreading influence threaten to twist Sanctuary into a world consumed by malice. As Hell’s legions surge and the ancient Pools of Creation draw Mephisto ever closer, the fate of humanity hangs by a thread. To stop him, the Wanderer must embrace an old foe long believed to be dead. Lilith returns, her prophetic last words echoing true, forcing a perilous alliance bound by necessity rather than trust. With time and allies running out, the Wanderer is in a desperate race to stop Mephisto before hatred reshapes the world forever.

Diablo IV features support for DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation, enabling GeForce RTX 50 Series players to multiply 4K frame rates by an average of 6.5X, with ray-traced reflections and shadows activated, and other settings maxed out.

Via the NVIDIA app, all GeForce RTX players can upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, while GeForce RTX 50 Series owners can upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation 6X Mode, further accelerating frame rates.

DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation is an intelligent system that functions like an automatic transmission for your GPU. Instead of sticking to a fixed multiplier, it automatically shifts between different frame multipliers to strike the perfect balance between frame rate, image quality and responsiveness.

In other words, it only generates the frames needed to maximize your target frame rate, or the refresh rate of your display, be that 120Hz, 144Hz, 240Hz, or higher.

By continuously monitoring the gap between your GPU’s performance and your display’s maximum refresh rate, the system adapts in real-time. In graphically intense scenarios, it ‘upshifts’ and increases frame generation to bridge performance dips, ensuring your high-refresh display remains buttery smooth. Conversely, as the workload lightens, it seamlessly shifts the multiplier down to only compute what’s needed.

DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation can be activated and configured globally, or on a per game basis in the NVIDIA app’s Graphics tab.

Open “DLSS Override - Frame Generation Mode”, select “Dynamic”, and choose “Max refresh rate” for the NVIDIA app to synchronize your maximum frame rate with the maximum refresh rate of your display, for optimum motion clarity. Alternatively, pick “Custom” and type in a maximum frame rate for DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation to target.

Available now, Riven Tides is the sixth free content update for the super popular ARC Raiders since launch. Featuring a brand new map, the titular Riven Tides, the update also introduces a new large ARC threat in the form of the ARC Turbine, plus a new minor Map Condition, Beachcombing. Additional new content includes a Player Event and seasonal Raider Project, the spread of the Vaporizer to additional maps, plus new equipment, items and quests, and new cosmetics in the in-game store.

Riven Tides is situated on the coastline of the Rust Belt. Along this stretch of shore, the fading luxury of the Panorama Azzurro Resort meets the hard lines of a disused dockyard, where old Exodus structures still stand unmoved against the waves. Raiders are finally cleared to return to this long-lost stretch of coastline, but early scout reports warn that a new threat has taken hold.

When you head into the Riven Tides, you can enhance immersion, increase responsiveness, and accelerate frame rates with a suite of NVIDIA technologies.

DLSS 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.

And via the NVIDIA app, all GeForce RTX ARC Raiders players can upgrade to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, further enhancing image quality.

In other ARC Raiders news, the “Modified” PC mod team, composed of Alex Ciobanu and Ethan Cooper, have recreated the game’s biggest and most challenging enemy, the Queen. Depicted in the Red Lakes, the build shows the Queen in defence mode, on the prowl for Raiders trying to bypass her to get to the Harvester she’s sworn to protect.

Powered by a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the hand-crafted build is a fusion of 3D-printed elements, MDF, steel, and aluminium, over 2 meters in length!

Built in Unreal Engine 5, Conan Exiles Enhanced brings eight years of post-launch content into a fully upgraded experience with dramatically improved visuals, enhanced performance, and modern rendering technology. The update revitalizes the brutal world of Conan, delivering a deeper level of immersion for both new players and long-time fans.

For the first time ever, players who own the Isle of Siptah expansion will now also be able to travel freely between the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah. The two regions are now merged into one continuous experience, allowing players to fully explore both instead of having to pick one at the start of the game. In multiplayer, any server can now support both maps simultaneously. This massively expands the available play area for those who own the Isle of Siptah expansion.

Conan Exiles Enhanced leverages the full Unreal Engine 5 feature set to remaster the game: Lumen Global Illumination creates more realistic and immersive lighting, Nanite Geometry significantly increases the fidelity and detail of terrain, and Virtual Shadow Maps dramatically enhance the fidelity of shadowing throughout the world.

To ensure maximum performance for all GeForce RTX gamers, Conan Exiles Enhanced includes support for DLSS Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Frame Generation, and DLSS Super Resolution. And with NVIDIA Reflex, PC latency is reduced, making gameplay even more responsive.

Conan Exiles Steam players will be automatically upgraded to Conan Exiles Enhanced on May 5th, with the previous Unreal Engine 4 version remaining accessible via the game’s “Properties” in the Steam Library. For further details about the upgrade, and how to transfer characters and other content, check out the official Conan Exiles Enhanced FAQ.

Saber Interactive and stillalive studios’ Bus Bound has players take over the driver’s seat of officially licensed city buses. Improve the lives of the fictional city’s residents by delivering a reliable, high quality bus service, giving you the ability to upgrade stops, unlock new routes, and evolve the city. Navigate traffic systems, and get your passengers to their destinations come rain or shine. And team up with up to three other players to elevate the city’s transit network in multiplayer.

When Bus Bound launches on April 30th, GeForce RTX-equipped drivers can enhance their route with DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Multi Frame Generation, which can be upgraded to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation 6X Mode via the NVIDIA app.

There are even more DLSS integrations arriving soon for a whole host of games.
