AMD's new Radeon driver adds Forza Horizon 6 and 007 First Light support, but Subnautica 2 players might want to skip it

AMD has released its latest driver for Radeon RX gamers, and it's a big one for new releases, as it adds New Game Support for Forza Horizon 6 and 007 First Light. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.5.2 is available now for all RDNA 2, RDNA 3, and RDNA 4 gamers, and is highly recommended for those planning on jumping into the latest Forza Horizon this weekend. However, with the Release Notes stating that Radeon RX 9000 Series gamers might experience intermittent crashes when playing Subnautica 2, if you're ditching the streets of Japan to head underwater this weekend, you might want to stick with AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1.

Forza Horizon 6, which is set in Japan, is one of the first major PC games to launch with native FSR 4.1 support. The latest version of AMD's AI-powered Super Resolution technology improves image fidelity compared to the original FSR 4.0 release, giving Radeon RX 9000 Series gamers a 'free' performance boost. Although it's currently exclusive to RDNA 4 GPUs, AMD has finally confirmed that FSR 4.1 is coming to more Radeon GPUs in the coming months - with RDNA 3 gamers expected to get support in July.

In addition to new game support for these two titles, the latest Radeon driver also fixes a couple of crashing and corruption issues with Satisfactory and RoadCraft on Radeon RX 9000 Series cards. Here's a look at the full Release Notes, which also includes all outstanding Known Issues, including a bit more information on the Subnautica 2 problems.
