The list of games that support ray tracing and DLSS is embiggening all the time, and it’s not just new games launching with the prettifying tech baked in. Deathloop, for one, has just been updated to add DLSS alongside its existing AMD FSR support, while (relative) old timers like Rise of the Tomb Raider are getting DLSS too. Back 4 Blood and Baldur’s Gate 3 have also joined the DLSS club.

This influx of big-name games comes on the back of a surge in indie support, driven in part by Nvidia’s DLSS plugin for Unreal Engine 4. This also means you can expect many more games to use it in the future too. Unlike how FSR works with a huge range of GPUs, DLSS still requires an Nvidia GeForce RTX card to operate, but considering its combined upscaling and anti-aliasing magic improves performance at no visual cost, it’s becoming increasingly worthwhile to choose a GPU that unlocks it. You can check out our best graphics cards guide for recommendations, and remember that RTX models will enable ray tracing in supported games too.

The full list of ray tracing and DLSS-ready games is below, along with upcoming releases that are confirmed to feature at least one of them. We're also keeping an eye on DLAA, which uses the same AI-assisted AA as DLSS, but purely at native resolution with no upscaling element. It's designed for powerful PCs that don't strictly need the performance boost, though DLAA is only currently confirmed to work in The Elder Scrolls Online.

The good news is that more ray tracing games are on the way, and below you'll find all the other upcoming ray tracing games we currently know about. Some are old games getting new ray tracing updates, others are brand-new titles that haven't been released yet. Alas, there's no guarantee that all of these games will get ray tracing at launch, but with a little bit of luck, the games you see below will eventually join the ray tracing games listed above.

DLSS games you can play right now:

Thankfully, the number of games that support Nvidia's DLSS tech is much larger than the number of ray tracing games right now - which is excellent news for Nvidia RTX card owners looking to squeeze some extra frames out of their new GPU. Unlike ray tracing, these games do require the use of an Nvidia RTX card, as DLSS is a proprietary technology exclusive to Nvidia. It's an AI-powered upscaling technology that helps to boost performance at higher resolutions (particularly when you've got ray tracing enabled), and many of today's big ray tracing games such as Watch Dogs Legion simply aren't playable without it. Without further ado, then, here are all the Nvidia DLSS games you can currently play right now:

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 is now indistinguishable from a game's native resolution.

Nvidia say 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.
