It has been just over two decades since the tool went live and has remained the most used utility on NVIDIA GPU-based systems.

Nvidia has released a new GeForce Game Ready Driver optimised for this week’s major DLSS titles, including Forza Horizon 6, Directive 8020, Subnautica 2 and the latest update for Blades of Fire, alongside new details on upcoming support for 007 First Light.

Forza Horizon 6 enters early access on Friday with day‑one support for DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and DLSS Multi Frame Generation, enabling higher frame rates and improved ray‑traced visuals on GeForce RTX hardware.

Directive 8020, the new sci‑fi horror title from Supermassive Games, launches with path‑traced lighting enhanced by DLSS Ray Reconstruction, plus DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation for higher performance on RTX 50‑series GPUs. Battlefield 6 Season 3 is now live, continuing its broad support for DLSS technologies and introducing new reimagined maps.

Subnautica 2 enters Early Access on May 14 with DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation, both upgradable to DLSS 4.5 modes via the Nvidia app. Blades of Fire’s major 2.0 update arrives the same day, adding DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation with optional upgrades to DLSS 4.5.

Ahead of its May 27 launch, 007 First Light will feature DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, with full path tracing arriving later this summer. Nvidia is also offering a new RTX 50‑series bundle that includes the game with qualifying hardware purchases.

The latest Nvidia Game Ready graphics driver has arrived, bringing with it a few fixes and improvements. On top of that, Nvidia is also announcing a new round of DLSS supported games this week, including confirmation that Forza Horizon 6 will utilise DLSS 4.

Forza Horizon 6 takes the series to Japan, giving fans an opportunity to race across the streets of Tokyo and beyond. At launch, the game will support DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation, so those with RTX 50 series GPUs can activate up to 4X frame generation to max out extremely high refresh rate monitors. If you have an RTX 40 series GPU, you will still be able to use standard Frame Generation, but you won't be able to go above 2X.

A lesser-known racing title, Screamer, is also launching with DLSS 4 support. Subliminal, a new psychological horror game, is also getting DLSS 4 support when it launches this week.

Finally, Alan Wake Remastered, which launched back in 2021 with DLSS 2 baked in, is being upgraded this week. This new update brings HDR support to the game but beyond that, it also makes the jump to DLSS 4.5, enabling dynamic and 6X frame generation modes for RTX 50 GPU users.

NVIDIA has released a new GeForce Game Ready driver optimised for Resident Evil Requiem, which launches tomorrow with support for path tracing, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. The new driver also adds support for Marathon ahead of its Server Slam open playtest this weekend.

Resident Evil Requiem features first‑person and third‑person modes as players follow Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy through a new investigation tied to the 1998 Raccoon City incident. On GeForce RTX hardware, the game enables full path tracing with improved lighting, shadows, reflections and refractions, enhanced further by DLSS Ray Reconstruction. RTX 50‑series GPUs can also use DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation to boost frame rates at high resolutions and settings. RTX 40 series GPU users can also use standard frame generation.

Aside from optimisations for both Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon, the new driver update also fixes a number of issues. For instance, a bug impacting performance in Quantum Break has been resolved, as has an image corruption issue while playing Modern Warfare (2019).

The GeForce Game Ready 595.59 WHQL driver is available now through the NVIDIA app.
