Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the year's biggest surprises, a new turn-based RPG that blends real-time mechanics from a small studio out of France. The game has quickly become one of the most celebrated game releases of the year. Released in April, it's currently sitting on an impressive Metacritic score of 93, with a user score of 9.7, and an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating on Steam with over 100,000 reviews posted so far.
With stunning art direction and modern Unreal Engine 5-powered tech, it's also a looker, with fantastical and detailed environments, characters, and unique enemies. Although it's been out for a couple of months now, this week Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has added DLSS 4 With Multi Frame Generation support on PC, allowing PC gamers with GeForce RTX graphics cards to boost performance, image fidelity, and responsiveness.
And it's not the only Japanese-style RPG getting DLSS 4 support this week, as Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma now supports DLSS 4 With Frame Generation via the DLSS Override feature in the NVIDIA App. This is a game with a more traditional anime-inspired look, with real-time combat, and the life-sim-style mechanics of the Rune Factory "fantasy role-playing social simulation" series.
For something completely different, take a look at Dead Take, a first-person psychological horror game that blends digital environments with real-world actors and performances. It's an interesting take on the 'you find yourself inside a haunted mansion' premise as you search creepy-looking environments while going through evidence that you find on film and backed up on USB drives and memory cards. It's out today, with day one DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation support.
Next up is F1 25, and even though this is a game that already supports DLSS, its advanced path-traced lighting effects now include DLSS Ray Reconstruction as part of the game's Season 2 update. Ray Reconstruction replaces traditional denoisers with an AI solution. For games with ray-tracing, it dramatically improves the detail and quality of things like reflections, shadows, ambient occlusion, and more.
Rounding out the DLSS announcements this week is a bit of a blast from the past, with the popular zombie-survival game 7 Days To Die finally adding DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA support in a recent update for GeForce RTX gamers.
