You can download the updated BETA client here. We will release an update to all GeForce Experience users next week.

Game Ready For Other Anticipated Titles

Our new Game Ready driver is also a must-have if you’re intending to play GRIP or SOULCALIBUR VI.

Performance and stability is improved with Game Ready drivers, so it’s recommended you download and install to ensure the best possible experience from the second you hit play.

GRIP

GRIP, inspired by 1999’s Rollcage, is far from your average racing game. With a heavy focus on combat, GRIP will have you fighting for your life as you speed around one of the game’s many beautiful and unique tracks.

Whether you’re dodging explosions or creating your own form of mayhem, GeForce Experience’s NVIDIA Highlights will capture every breathtaking moment as you battle other racers.

And with NVIDIA Ansel, use a freecam and post-process filters to craft the perfect photo of your car, or a spectacular moment.

SOULCALIBUR VI

The first SOULCALIBUR launched in 1998, but only now is the franchise coming to PC, with the release of SOULCALIBUR VI on October 19th.

SOULCALIBUR VI is built on the same tech and engine that brought Tekken 7 to life, and as such it runs like a dream at 4K on GeForce RTX graphics cards and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, as we detailed earlier this year.
