Here are all the confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games so far

Big, maybe even large news on ray tracing and DLSS out of Gamescom this year: Nvidia are updating their upscaler to become DLSS 3.5, adding a new 'Ray Reconstruction' feature that will supposedly improve ray-traced effects quality while simultaneously cutting their performance cost. Interesting stuff, even if Ray Reconstruction will (at least initially) be limited to games with full-on path tracing, like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2.

The total number of games with general ray tracing and/or DLSS support is, of course, far grander. And it’s growing all the time, either through new games launching or already-playable games getting a juicy DLSS patch. This list keeps track of the lot, including those that work with DLSS 3: an upgraded version that throws in bonus FPS-boosting AI frame generation.

I generally find DLSS 3 effective enough to be worth trying out, though the graphics card requirements for frame generation are steep, specifically demanding a GeForce RTX 40 series GPU. Regular DLSS upscaling 'only' requires an GeForce GPU from the RTX 20 series onwards, and the same goes for – slightly confusingly – the Ray Reconstruction feature in DLSS 3.5. Ray tracing is doable on Nvidia, AMD and even Intel GPUs, though it’s so prone to harshing a framerate’s mellow that it’s mainly just viable on strong mid-range cards and above. RT effects are also best combined with an upscaler like DLSS, which can absorb much of the performance hit.

AMD’s new FSR 3 could be a good alternative to DLSS 3, as it will offer a similar frame generation function while enjoying compatibility with older and cheaper graphics cards from all three manufacturers. DLSS, however, tends to look better than FSR, and is more widely available too – as these lists of available and upcoming games will demonstrate.

There are more DLSS games on the way, too. DLSS has now been integrated into both the Unreal Engine and Unity game-making tools now, so it should be much easier for developers to start adding in support for it.

That said, several games Nvidia have announced over the past few years still haven't received their intended DLSS support yet, and consequently I've removed some of the titles that were previously included on this list, as even Nvidia seem to have forgotten about them in their most recent DLSS announcements. Instead, the games below are definitely confirmed to be getting DLSS support, based on the most recent information available to us.

DLSS games on the way:

• Alan Wake 2
• Alone In The Dark (2023)
• Ashfall
• Ash Echoes
• Black Myth: Wukong
• Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
• Delta Force: Hawk Ops
• Dying: 1983
• GRIT
• Half-Life 2 RTX
• Honor of Kings: World
• ILL Space
• Legend of Ymir
• Marauders (available now in early access)
• Midnight Ghost Hunt (available now in early access)
• On Air
• Party Animals
• Payday 3
• Project Mugen
• Ratten Reich
• Ripout
• SCP: 5K (available now in early access)
• Sons of the Forest (available now in early access)
• STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl
• Super People 2 (available now in early access)
• Synced
• The Anacrusis (available now in early access)
• The Day Before
• The Finals
• The First Descendant
• Throne and Liberty
• Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
• Voidtrain (available now in early access)

DLSS 3 games you can play right now:

DLSS 3 is a generational step up from previous versions. It still works by rendering frames at a lower resolution, then upscaling them, but DLSS 3 can also add brand new frames that Nvidia’s AI tech generates itself (using data from surrounding frames). These interpolated frames are snuck in-between the rendered frames, boosting overall FPS even more.

There are some downsides: this technique increases input latency, so might not be great for pacey competitive games, and it will only be available if you’re running an GeForce RTX 40 series GPU. Still, it works well from what I've played, with particularly impactful FPS boosts at 4K; the only time I've witnessed unacceptable quality drops from frame gen has been in Immortals of Aveum, which had a nasty ghosting effect at launch. Every other time, DLSS 3 has looked fine.

Some of these games may also get support for DLSS 3.5 and its Ray Reconstruction feature, though unlike frame generation, this won't specifically require an RTX 40 series GPU. In any case, here are the games that already have the original DLSS 3 up, running, and playable:

• A Plague Tale: Requiem
• Atomic Heart
• Bright Memory: Infinite
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Conqueror's Blade
• Dakar Desert Rally
• Deliver Us Mars
• Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed
