007 First Light Path Tracing & DLSS Ray Reconstruction Update Out Now

The hits keep coming this September, with even more DLSS 4.5 game launches, and updates to highly rated releases.

007 First Light’s eagerly awaited Path Tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction update has just gone live, making its spectacular cinematic moments look and feel even more realistic.

Later today, RuneScape: Dragonwilds exits Early Access and upgrades to DLSS 4.5. And Active Matter launches, giving gamers a new PvPvE shooter to master.

Tomorrow, Aniimo, the highly wishlisted, free-to-play creature-catching open-world RPG launches.

And Halloween: The Game, featuring DLSS Ray Reconstruction, is available now, as is No Man’s Sky’s DLSS 4.5 update.

In the critically-acclaimed, multi-million selling 007 First Light, follow James Bond as a young, resourceful and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6's training program, and discover a reimagined origin story of the world’s most famous spy. Incorporating IO Interactive’s signature stealth gameplay with world class James Bond action, you’ll embark on missions in breathtaking locations around the globe, drive iconic vehicles, and dive into a cinematic adventure in pursuit of a rogue agent who’s always one step ahead.

Since launch, 007 First Light has included DLSS Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, accelerating frame rates and enhancing image quality for GeForce RTX gamers.

Now, path tracing has been added to 007 First Light, introducing extra-detailed lighting, shadows and reflections, making its levels and set pieces even more cinematic, immersive and realistic. And DLSS Ray Reconstruction ensures the fidelity, clarity and accuracy of these additions is at its absolute best.

In the following comparison, more accurate lighting amplifies the artistry of the scene, bathing the art installation in caustics and reflected light, which is correctly mirrored on the floor. Elsewhere, objects are correctly shadowed, lighting is accurately occluded, bright light from the central art piece illuminates surrounding objects, and new reflections from other lights and objects further enhance the realism and immersion of the scene.

For the best experience when playing 007: First Light, we recommend installing our most recent GeForce Game Ready Driver from the NVIDIA app or our website, as it specifically includes support for today’s update.

If you’ve yet to add 007: First Light to your library, now’s the perfect time, and to add extra incentive to grab this critically-acclaimed game, it’s currently discounted on Steam for a limited time.

If already own 007: First Light, but are away from home and your GeForce RTX PC or laptop, or simply don’t have a GeForce RTX system capable of playing 007: First Light with path tracing, you can still experience the game with the new update, at its very best, by streaming it from the cloud to nearly any device with an Ultimate GeForce NOW membership.

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 later today, 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 later today.

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 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.

Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky puts players in an infinite procedurally generated universe, full of mystery and wonder. Follow the story to its conclusion, or simply survive, explore, and build, alone or online with others in the game’s massive worlds. With new content and features added frequently, there’s always a reason to play and explore in the much-loved open world survival and exploration game.

Previously, Hello Games has added support for DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation, DLAA, and NVIDIA Reflex. In the recently-released Cosmos Update, coinciding with No Man’s Sky’s 10th anniversary, Hello Games has now introduced support for DLSS 4.5, bringing our latest model for Super Resolution, and up to 6X mode for Multi Frame Generation, further improving image quality in the vastness of space, and enabling GeForce RTX 50 Series gamers to reach even higher frame rates.

Additionally, NVIDIA app users can activate Dynamic Multi Frame Generation via our DLSS overrides, for optimized performance in each procedurally generated environment.

Dragons have awoken on RuneScape’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall. Stranded in this untamed land, you must gather resources, build shelters, and craft weapons to withstand the growing dragon threat in Jagex’s RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Only by mastering survival and unlocking ancient secrets can you hope to slay the Dragon Queen and reclaim Ashenfall - alone or with up to 3 friends.

This all-new adventure blends High Fantasy, light RPG elements, and iconic RuneScape lore in a never-before-seen continent. Journey through the vast, vibrant regions of Ashenfall and unveil the ruins of forgotten civilisations to discover why wild, transformative magic spills from its fractured lands. 

RuneScape: Dragonwilds launched into Early Access in 2025, initially releasing with DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, and DLAA, before swiftly adding Multi Frame Generation a few months later.

Later today, RuneScape: Dragonwilds exits Early Access with its official v1.0 release, concluding the Kuldra Saga with players going into the Scorned Wilderness raid to try and defeat her. For GeForce RTX players, the v1.0 release upgrades to DLSS 4.5, and adds support for Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, enhancing image quality and further accelerating performance.

Relive the events of 1978’s Halloween in IllFonic’s Halloween: The Game, as either a civilian trying to protect Haddonfield’s townsfolk from The Shape in 1v4 multiplayer, or take up the knife as Michael Myers himself, stalking victims one by one. 

Or in the single-player story mode, live out the chilling story surrounding Michael Myers’ escape from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and the terrifying events that followed. Embody pure evil as the true Boogeyman and commit the horrors leading to Halloween Night in 1978.

Cinematic story cutscenes introduce chapters, characters, and story beats with iconic Halloween: The Game aesthetics and shot recreations, building a Haddonfield inspired by the original film. Yet the game goes beyond paying homage to the seminal movie, taking it in creative new directions to inject surprises and build upon Michael Myers’ monstrous, mythical intrigue.

Halloween: The Game is available now, and PC players with GeForce RTX GPUs can activate DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation in-game to accelerate performance. And if a player activates the game’s ray-traced effects, they’ll also have the opportunity to enable DLSS Ray Reconstruction to greatly enhance fidelity.

NVIDIA app users, meanwhile, can crank image quality and performance to the max with our DLSS overrides, which enable you to upgrade to DLSS 4.5 with Super Resolution, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction, making gameplay even more realistic, immersive, and terrifying.
