DLSS 3.5 With Ray Reconstruction Coming To Star Wars™ Outlaws & Marvel Rivals Gets A DLSS 3 Upgrade

NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction maximizes frame rates on GeForce RTX GPUs, and renders more immersive and realistic ray-traced effects and lighting in games using AI.

At Computex 2024, we’ve announced that DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction will be available in Star Wars™ Outlaws, launching August 30th. To demonstrate the incredible quality and performance delivered by DLSS 3.5, we’re showcasing a new, exclusive trailer from the game.

Additionally, Marvel Rivals will launch with our AI-powered, performance boosting DLSS 3 technology, and we’ve got a new trailer showing it in action in the new, upcoming game.

Upon release, these new games will join an ever-growing list of over 500 games and apps that are enhanced with RTX technologies. Such is the pace of adoption, barely a week goes by without new games integrating NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex and advanced ray-traced effects, ensuring GeForce RTX players receive the definitive experience in their most anticipated titles.

In the last month alone, Capes, Die By The Blade, EA SPORTS™ F1® 24, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, Gray Zone Warfare, Homeworld 3, INDIKA, MotoGP™24, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Serum, Ships At Sea, Ships That Fight Underground, and Wuthering Waves have all launched with support for DLSS, and Star Citizen introduced support for DLSS 2.

Learn more about our new announcements below, and stay tuned to GeForce.com each week to learn which games and apps are adding RTX technologies next.

NVIDIA has pioneered the AI hardware and software that is powering incredible breakthroughs across every industry. NVIDIA DLSS, one of our first major AI algorithms, was introduced five years ago and boosts performance using neural rendering, made possible by the Tensor Cores inside each GeForce RTX GPU.

Since its initial release, the AI models behind DLSS have kept learning, leading to even better results and new innovations that further multiply performance. Our most recent advancement, DLSS 3.5, features Ray Reconstruction, a new AI model that creates higher quality ray-traced images for intensive ray-traced games and apps.

This enhanced AI-powered neural renderer improves ray-traced image quality for all GeForce RTX GPUs by replacing hand-tuned denoisers with an NVIDIA supercomputer-trained AI network that generates higher-quality pixels in between sampled rays.

Trained with 5X more data than DLSS 3, using offline-rendered images that require far more computational power than can be delivered during a real-time game, DLSS 3.5 recognizes different ray-traced effects to make smarter decisions about using temporal and spatial data, and to retain high frequency information for superior-quality upscaling. The results are superior to using hand-tuned denoisers, delivering higher fidelity ray-traced effects.

Working in tandem with DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction maximizes image quality and performance across all GeForce RTX GPUs, delivering the absolute best experience in ray-traced games.

Star Wars™ Outlaws is launching August 30th, and you can pre-order now on the Ubisoft Store. The highly anticipated upcoming game invites players to experience the Star Wars™ galaxy like never before, through an original story set between Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back™ and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™.

As the Galactic Empire relentlessly pursues the final defeat of the Rebel Alliance, the criminal underworld thrives. Fans will play as cunning scoundrel Kay Vess and her loyal companion Nix, as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen. Seeking the means to start a new life, players will join Kay and Nix as they fight, steal, and outwit their way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates and join the galaxy’s most wanted.

Previously, we announced that the PC version of Star Wars™ Outlaws will include support for NVIDIA DLSS 3, NVIDIA Reflex, ray-traced reflections, ray-traced shadows, NVIDIA RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI), and ray-traced global illumination. Today, we’re excited to announce that Star Wars™ Outlaws on PC has now upgraded to NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, further enhancing the fidelity of ray-traced effects.

Watch the new, exclusive Star Wars™ Outlaws trailer below for a first look at DLSS 3.5, Ray Reconstruction and RTXDI, and keep reading for further details about all of this technology.

“NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction technology is incredible in Star Wars™ Outlaws, further enhancing ray-traced effects, allowing fans to experience the Outer Rim at higher levels of detail and the highest frame rates possible” - Tobias Carlsson, Technical Director

As part of our collaboration with Massive Entertainment and LucasFilm Games on Star Wars™ Outlaws, the game’s PC version is also being enhanced with NVIDIA RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI), plus ray-traced reflections, ray-traced shadows, and ray-traced global illumination, taking visuals to the next level.

All GeForce RTX gamers can also activate NVIDIA Reflex in Star Wars™ Outlaws, reducing system latency. System latency affects the time it takes for actions to occur in-game - the lower your latency, the more responsive a game becomes, and the better the gameplay feels, a must-have for gamers wanting the most responsive experience possible.

Even if you don’t have a GeForce RTX PC or laptop, you can still enjoy Star Wars™ Outlaws by streaming it from the cloud with the same technologies as GeForce RTX 40-Series owners, including DLSS 3.5, Ray Reconstruction, Ray Tracing and Reflex, thanks to NVIDIA GeForce NOW Ultimate.

Star Wars™ Outlaws is built using Massive Entertainment’s incredible Snowdrop Engine, enabling the developers to create a detailed Star Wars™ experience that beautifully showcases new and iconic locations for you to visit and experience. And thanks to the addition of NVIDIA’s RTX technologies, PC players with GeForce RTX GPUs or GeForce NOW accounts will receive the definitive Star Wars™ Outlaws experience.

Star Wars™ Outlaws is launching August 27th for Gold and Ultimate Edition owners, followed by a general release on the 30th - pre-order now on the Ubisoft Store.

About Star Wars Outlaws

With development led by Massive Entertainment, Star Wars Outlaws will invite players to experience the Star Wars galaxy like never before through an original story set between Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back™ and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™. As the Galactic Empire relentlessly pursues the final defeat of the Rebel Alliance, the criminal underworld thrives. Fans will play as cunning scoundrel Kay Vess and her loyal companion Nix, as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen. Seeking the means to start a new life, players will join Kay and Nix as they fight, steal, and outwit their way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates and join the galaxy’s most wanted.

Kay and Nix can turn any situation to their advantage: use stealth and gadgets to gain the upper hand, use Nix to distract and draw away enemies, or engage in blaster combat in tense situations throughout their journey. In order to pull off the ultimate heist, Kay and Nix will search for and join forces with a cast of outlaws, including battle-hardened droid ND-5. While stealing valuable goods, infiltrating secret locations, and outwitting enemies, they will need to carefully consider how their choices affect their status with each syndicate, as each move will influence Kay’s ever-changing reputation.
