CES 2022 has prodded the new year awake with various hardware launches, and while most eyes will be on the likes of the new GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3090 Ti, Nvidia also announced a few more additions to the library of ray tracing and DLSS compatible games. Escape From Tarkov will be getting DLSS upscaling support in a future update, while zombie survival MMO The Day Before will launch with ray tracing and DLSS as standard on June 21st 2022. That’s a couple more for the pile of RTX-friendly games - a pile which, as you see from the list below, is getting pretty tall.

As ever, you’ll need a GeForce RTX GPU – see our list of the best graphics cards for ideas – to run DLSS, and either an RTX or higher-end AMD Radeon card for ray tracing. DLSS is particularly useful if your frame rate count isn’t where you want it, as its combination of high-quality upscaling and AI-enhanced anti-aliasing can easily boost performance and no real visual cost. AMD has a rival technology in FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), though since it’s a relative simple upscaler with no AA tricks of its own, DLSS usually looks better.

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 handful of games, like The Elder Scrolls Online, Deathloop and Farming Simulator 22.

The good news is that more ray tracing games are on the way, and below you'll find all the other upcoming ray tracirng 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.

Ray tracing games on the way:

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.
