AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 26.9.2 is now available for Radeon graphics card owners, and it's a big update for new game releases. With support for Minecraft Dungeons II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, Gears of War: E-Day, CONTROL Resonant, and Valor Mortis, it covers most of the major PC game releases right now and on the horizon.
That said, AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 26.9.2 is listed as a non-WHQL 'Optional Driver Release,' so you'll need to download and install it manually. If you have an RDNA 4 or RDNA 3 GPU like the Radeon RX 9070 XT or Radeon RX 7800 XT and plan to play any of the titles listed above, it's worth updating. Driver support for new games often includes optimizations and better support for technologies like FSR 4, so you can expect faster or more stable performance.
AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 26.9.2 isn't limited to new-game support; it also fixes a few notable issues, including "driver timeout" errors when playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Radeon RX 7000 Series cards and War Thunder on Radeon RX 6000 Series cards. Here's a look at the full release notes, and you can download AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 26.9.2 here.
