Game Ready For FINAL FANTASY XVI, Featuring DLSS 3, DLAA & Reflex

SQUARE ENIX’s FINAL FANTASY XVI introduces players to an all-new story in the FINAL FANTASY universe, set in the realm of Valisthea – a land blessed in the light of the Mothercrystals, and where peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions. The fate of the land is decided by the Eikons, the most powerful and deadly creatures in Valisthea. Each resides within a Dominant—a single man or woman who is blessed with the ability to call upon their dread power. In some nations these Dominants are treated as royalty in admiration of this strength—in others they are bound in fear of it, and forced to serve as weapons of war. Those who are born as Dominants cannot escape their fate, however cruel it may be.

 

FINAL FANTASY XVI launches with day-one support for fan favorite NVIDIA technologies. Maximize frame rates with DLSS 3, including DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation. Take image quality to its limit with DLAA. And make gameplay even more responsive with Reflex. With a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU in your PC or laptop, experience FINAL FANTASY XVI on PC at its absolute best.

Ahead of FINAL FANTASY XVI’s September 17th release, PC gamers can download and play a demo from Steam. Once you’ve played it, head to the FINAL FANTASY XVI website to pre-order the PC edition, or the Complete Edition, which includes the “Echoes of the Fallen” and “The Rising Tide" DLC addons. Further details about each expansion can be found here.

Game Ready For God of War Ragnarök, Featuring DLSS 3 & Reflex

From Santa Monica Studio and brought to PC in partnership with Jetpack Interactive comes God of War Ragnarök, an epic and heartfelt journey that follows Kratos and Atreus as they struggle with holding on and letting go.

The sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018), God of War Ragnarök picks up with Fimbulwinter well underway. Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as Odin’s forces in Asgard prepare for a prophesied battle that will end the world. Along the way, they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters. As the threat of Ragnarök grows ever closer, Kratos and Atreus must choose between the safety of their family and the safety of the realms.

 

God of War Ragnarök launches September 19th on PC. If you own a GeForce RTX GPU or laptop, you can activate DLSS 3 with Frame Generation and Super Resolution, and NVIDIA Reflex from day one, further enhancing your experience.

Game Ready For EA SPORTS FCTM 25

EA SPORTS FC continues to build the world’s biggest football platform, with a host of innovations, led by Rush and FC IQ, to deliver the most social and authentic experience to date. EA SPORTS FC 25 introduces Rush, an all-new 5v5 experience that harnesses the same gameplay controls and true-to-football mechanics of 11v11.

Available across Football Ultimate Team™, Clubs and Kick-Off, Rush is tailor-made to play with your friends as it allows groups of four to team up and take to the pitch together, with an AI-controlled goalkeeper. FC IQ is an overhaul of tactical foundations across the game which delivers greater strategic control and more realistic collective movement at the team level, while a new AI model, powered by real-world data, influences player tactics through all-new Player Roles.

 

EA SPORTS FC 25 officially launches September 27th, but if you want to get on the pitch early, you can pre-order EA SPORTS FC™ 25 Ultimate Edition to get up to 7 days of early access from September 20th. For an optimal experience, download and install our new GeForce Game Ready Driver.
