Intel releases new Arc Graphics driver for Borderlands 4, Dying Light, and Hollow Knight

Intel Game On Driver 32.0.101.7029 Non-WHQL is available now, and it adds support for four big game releases - Borderlands 4, Dying Light: The Beast, EA Sports FC 26, and Hollow Knight: Silksong. 2K and Gearbox's Borderlands 4 is the big game release this weekend, and although it has received positive reviews from critics, the Steam response has been mixed due to performance issues.

This means if you plan on jumping in with an Intel Arc graphics card, you'll want to grab this latest driver release, even though it's a beta or Non-WHQL version. Intel Game On Driver 32.0.101.7029 also fixes a couple of visual glitches and corruption issues relating to indie hit PEAK and Mafia: The Old Country.
