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

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

Once a pair of barely-supported curiosities, ray tracing and DLSS have become headline features for any new games that want to show how down with the PC kids they are. In fairness, the range of graphics cards that enable these visual improvements has swelled dramatically, as has the number of games that have them up and running. Not so many, mind, that we’re going to stop adding them to this master list – both of games that currently offer ray tracing and/or DLSS support, and those that will in the future.

Of the two, DLSS is arguably more of a must-have. Its upscaling tech is second to none on image quality, consistently producing sharper, more detailed results than AMD’s FSR or Intel’s XeSS, all while providing equal (or bigger) performance boosts. Boosts which, incidentally, are ideal for counterbalancing the added strain of ray-traced lighting effects. These can noticeably prettify a game if implemented well, though since they’ll always claim a framerate tax, they’re best left to high-end and newer mid-range GPUs.

Speaking of newer kit, Nvidia’s RTX 40 series cards (and especially the latest Super models) are currently your best bets for running both DLSS and ray tracing. Their Ada Lovelace architecture is simply better equipped for RT effects than AMD’s current crop of Radeon GPUs, and the RTX 40 series gets the added benefit of DLSS 3 frame generation support. This can make games look even smoother by adding AI-generated frames in between the normally rendered frames at little extra computing cost.

AMD has a couple of rival technologies, FSR 3 and the driver-based Fluid Motion Frames, but neither currently perform as well as DLSS 3. Since it’s proven itself the frame gen king, I’ve included a list of current and upcoming DLSS 3 games further down this page.

DLSS games you can play right now:

Unlike ray tracing, which works on a lot of different AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs, DLSS require the use of an Nvidia RTX card specifically. 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.

The introduction of DLSS 2.0 in games such as Death Stranding marked a real turning point. Whereas previous DLSS games were noticeably blurry with DLSS enabled, DLSS 2.0 could often look indistinguishable from a game's native resolution. Subsequent versions have made further visual improvements, especially om 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:

  • Alone In The Dark (2024)

DLSS 3 games you can play right now:

A Portal RTX screenshot, showing a weighted cube next to a blue portal.
Portal with RTX was one of the first DLSS 3 games, and now it's getting DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction.

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:
