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

Got a good GPU? Treat yourself to ray tracing, DLSS, or both

Years on from their debut, ray tracing and DLSS are still two of the most impactful, useful, and downright interesting tools in the weathered garden shed of PC games hardware. One can drastically upgrade how your games look, with overhauled lighting, shadows, and reflections, while the other combines FPS-boosting upscaling with sharp, AI-powered anti-aliasing, for faster performance at a negligible cost to visuals. And, not only are both the technologies improving over time, but the list of games that support ray tracing or DLSS (if not both) is constantly growing.

I’m keeping a list of all the confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games here, including those that support (or will support) DLSS 3: a new and much more advanced version of Nvidia’s upscaler that can create its own AI-generated frames, giving another shot to FPS without additional strain on your graphics card. It’s pretty neat tech, though you’ll need an RTX 40 series GPU (like the RTX 4070 Ti) to enable it.

Older versions of DLSS also have an Nvidia RTX GPU requirement, but anything dating back to the original RTX 20 series will suffice. Ray tracing isn’t so platform-specific, and can run even on Intel’s affordable Arc A750 graphics card, though we’d recommend at least an RTX 30 series or Radeon RX 6000 series GPU, to help absorb the performance hit that ray traced effects incur.

With that out of the way, read on for all the ray tracing and DLSS games we know of. One notable addition is Elden Ring, which finally got its long-awaited ray tracing update – though Atomic Heart, formerly a poster child for these shiny, glowy effects, is still awaiting its own. Also deserving of a mention is the Resident Evil 4 remake, which launches this month with ray traced reflections.

The introduction of DLSS 2.0 in games such as Death Stranding marked a real turning point for Nvidia's performance-boosting upscaling tech. Whereas previous DLSS games looked noticeably blurry with DLSS enabled, DLSS 2.0 could often look indistinguishable from a game's native resolution. The latest version is DLSS 2.4, which reduces ghosting and further improves rendering of fast-moving objects.

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:

  • Black Myth: Wukong
  • Boundary
  • Diablo IV
  • Dying: 1983
  • GRIT
  • ILL Space
  • Marauders (available now in early access)
  • Midnight Ghost Hunt (available now in early access)
  • On Air
  • Ratten Reich
  • Redfall
  • 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
  • System Shock (available now in the demo)
  • The Anacrusis (available now in early access)
  • The Day Before
  • The Finals
  • The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
  • Throne and Liberty
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
  • Voidtrain
  • Wild Hearts (update coming post-launch)

DLSS 3 games you can play right now:

I’ve written the word “frames” way too much today.

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 will also be able to 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. Here are the games that already have 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
  • Dying Light 2
  • F1 22
  • FIST: Forged In Shadow Torch
  • Forza Horizon 5

  • Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
  • WRC Generations

DLSS 3 games on the way:

Some of these games are already out but are waiting on a patch to add DLSS 3; others will launch in the future with DLSS 3 ready to go.
  • Black Myth: Wukong
  • Chernobylite
  • Diablo IV
  • Icarus
  • Marauders
  • Midnight Ghost Hunt
  • Naraka: Bladepoint
  • Ripout
  • STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl
  • Scathe

Unreal Engines 4 and 5, Unity, and the Frostbite Engine are all DLSS 3 compatible, so you can expect this list to grow just as the ‘old’ DLSS lists above have done.
