Which GPU Has the Best Game Support in 2026?

Cross-generation analysis shows how DLSS dominance compares with FSR4 and XeSS expansion.

Hardware by Godrics01 on Feb 27, 2026

NVIDIA is still the best at supporting games with upscaling technologies. Still, the differences between NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel in 2025 and previous releases paint a clearer picture.

We looked at data from more than 100 games released in 2025 and more than 550 older games to see how DLSS, FSR, and XeSS perform with both upscaling and frame generation.

Methodology and Scope

The dataset starts with a list of titles from the PC Gaming Wiki that enable high-fidelity upscaling. The list includes information on FSR, DLSS, and XeSS support, along with the version number and when it will be added. But we checked the data against other sources to fix missing entries and outdated information.

118 games released in 2025 were reviewed. These games offer at least one way to improve visuals, and they don't include early access releases. At the beginning of the year, Nvidia released DLSS 4, while AMD released FSR 4. Looking at 2025 reveals how adoption changed after those releases. We also looked at older titles on their own to see how well they worked with the rest of the catalog.

Support for Upscaling in 2025 Titles

There are 118 games released in 2025, and 114 of them support DLSS upscaling. That's 97% of the games. Most of these games support DLSS 4 either natively or through NVIDIA's driver update feature. Some notable exceptions are Civilization 7, which supports FSR 3.1 and XeSS 1.3 but not DLSS, and Split Fiction, which only supports FSR 3.1.

AMD's FSR is available in 104 of the 118 titles, or 88% of the total. But only 85 titles support FSR 3.1 or later, so you can upgrade to FSR 4 with AMD's driver update. That means 72% of the titles released in 2025 will support FSR4. Battlefield 6, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Borderlands 4 are among the biggest games that support FSR 3.1 or higher.

There are still problems with compatibility. Doom: The Dark Ages supports FSR 3.1 but not FSR 4 because it runs only on Vulkan, and AMD hasn't published an FSR 4 implementation that works with Vulkan yet. NBA 2K26, Skate, Avowed, and Jurassic World Evolution 3 are just a few of the other games that launched with older FSR versions and haven't been upgraded.

There weren't many delays in feature support in 2025. Clear Obscure Expedition33 came out in April with DLSS and XeSS, but it didn't get FSR support until 232 days later. After a 160-day wait, Rematch added FSR. Some Stalker enhanced editions, on the other hand, launched with FSR and then added DLSS 121 days later. At launch, most games have DLSS and FSR.

Intel's XeSS is supported by 67 of the 118 titles, or 57%. XeSS was available on the first day in almost all cases. XeSS coverage includes big releases like Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders, though it isn't as popular as AMD's FSR. But 43% of the games don't support XeSS, so Intel users have to run FSR 3.1 or older versions of those games. Kingdom Come Deliverance2, Stellar Blade, Silent HillF, Wu Chang: Fallen Feathers, and Grand Theft AutoV Enhanced Edition are some of the most important games that are missing.

When looking only at high-quality implementations—DLSS3 or newer, XeSS1.3 or newer, and FSR4—DLSS appears in 97% of games, FSR4 in 72%, and XeSS in 53%. The gap between FSR4 and XeSS is smaller than expected, especially given Intel's smaller share of the discrete GPU market.

Frame Creation in 2025 Games

There were 118 games launched in 2025 that could be upscaled, and 79 of them had at least one frame generation technology. That means that about two-thirds of people use it.

In 95% of the 79 titles, DLSS frame generation is present. The Stalker enhanced editions are the only ones that don't have DLSS frame generation but do include FSR frame generation. When adding the feature, developers prioritized DLSS frame generation.

There are 79 titles, and 56 of them support FSR frame creation, which is 71%. Battlefield 6, Arc Raiders, Borderlands 4, and Assassin's Creed Shadows are among the big games that support both DLSS and FSR for frame generation. Some games, including Final Fantasy7 Rebirth and FragPunk, do have DLSS frame generation but not FSR.

XeSS frame generation, introduced with XeSS2 in December 2024, is available in 28 games, or 35% of all frame generation games. Some of the most important games missing are The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Borderlands 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, The Last of Us Part II, and Monster Hunter World.

21 golden frame generation titles work with all three technologies. Twenty games are double golden, meaning they work with all three frame generation options and upscaling technologies, including DLSS, FSR4, and XeSS 1.3 or newer. That's 17% of the titles that will be upscaled in 2025. 53 games, or 45%, support all three high-quality upscaling implementations.

Support for Upscaling in Games Released Before 2025

The difference is even greater when you look at more than 550 titles that enable temporal upscaling and were launched before 2025.

DLSS is used in 90% of these games, and most of them may be upgraded to newer DLSS4 or DLSS4.5 models. About half of them use DLSS3 or later. Some well-known games that have FSR but not DLSS are Resident Evil 4 Remake, The Outer Worlds, The Callisto Protocol, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, and Dead Island 2.

FSR is in 64% of games released before 2025 that use temporal upscaling. Of the 36% that are left, 11% have XeSS as an option. But only 17% of older games support FSR 3.1 or later, so only 17% can be updated to FSR 4. Many games can only be played with FSR 3.0 or FSR 1, which can't be upgraded via drivers.

This makes a big difference in older games, because Nvidia GPUs usually run DLSS 4.5. At the same time, Radeon GPUs rely on FSR 3.0 or older. Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Warframe, and Palworld are some well-known games that don't support FSR4. A lot of these are some of the best games on Steam.

28% of games made before 2025 support XeSS, and 13% support XeSS1.3 or later. This means that Intel has better high-quality upscaling for older games than AMD, but Nvidia is still ahead. Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, The Witcher 3, Hitman, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth are some games that support XeSS but not FSR 4.

Ray Reconstruction and Other Technologies

Ray Reconstruction support is still limited, with only 17 titles supporting it. These include Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Spider-Man 2, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. There is only one game that currently has AMD's Ray Regeneration counterpart.

Final Thoughts

If broad upscaling and frame generation across both new and old titles are the most important things, Nvidia is the best choice. DLSS is available in most games across all categories examined.

AMD has improved FSR4 performance in games launching in 2025. New upscaling games now cover 72% of the screen. If you mostly play new games, Radeon GPUs let you play most of the big ones that support FSR4. However, support for older titles remains limited, with only 17% supporting upgradeable FSR3.1 or newer.

57% of titles released in 2025 used Intel's XeSS, and 53% of those that did were high-quality. Before 2025, coverage was 28%, which was still behind Nvidia but ahead of AMD in high-quality, upgradeable support. Arc GPUs have acceptable coverage if you only look at recent big releases.

The best way to get help in the game is still through official channels. There are ways to add FSR4 or XeSS to DLSS games, but using third-party software isn't necessarily compatible with multiplayer anti-cheat systems. DLSS currently has the largest collection of supported titles, making it the most compatible with both new and older games.
