Here are all the confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games so far
Got a good GPU? Treat yourself to ray tracing, DLSS, or both
Over Christmas, I took a little break from updating this list of all the ray tracing and DLSS games on PC. That, reader, was an error. It turns out there are absolutely bloomin’ loads of games to add, new and old: Horizon Forbidden West will launch with DLSS 3! Diablo IV is adding ray tracing in March! Dragon’s Dogma 2 is getting both! Tekken 8, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Pax Dei, they’re all jumping on the DLSS train as well. The Day Before even had to be moved from the 'upcoming' to 'current' sections, then be removed completely, all from its utter disaster of a launch week. Lots going on, indeed.
It's always a good thing when games support DLSS, ray tracing, or both. You can always switch them off if you don’t want them, but RT effects can visibly spruce up lighting and shadow effects, and DLSS upscaling can improve overall performance at little-to-no cost to fidelity. They’re great when paired together too, as DLSS reduces or even nullifies the frames-per-second cost of those luxury traced rays. You’ll need the right kind of graphics card, mind – any recent mid-range graphics card can have a pop at ray tracing, but DLSS specifically requires an Nvidia RTX-branded GPU.
DLSS 3, which ups the performance gain by adding in its own AI-generated frames, narrows that requirement further: you’ll need an RTX 40 series card to take advantage of it. AMD recently launched their own take on frame generation, FSR 3, but its supported games list isn’t anywhere near as long. DLSS upscaling also looks slightly nicer than FSR's, while performing about the same, so if you ever have the choice of either it's likely best to stick with the former.

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:
- Alone In The Dark (2024)
- Ashfall
- Ash Echoes
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Delta Force: Hawk Ops
- Desynced (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 with frame generation:
