The Last Stand, Skirmish and multiplayer modes offer more ways to put tactics to the test.

GeForce NOW will bring the action to supported PCs, Macs, handhelds and other devices, with game downloads and updates handled in the cloud. Save the storage space for everyday essentials and planning for the next offensive. Wishlist the game on Steam, and stay tuned to GFN Thursday to prepare for launch.

DLSS 5 Keeps on Coming

NVIDIA DLSS 5 continues to evolve, with Gaijin Entertainment’s War Thunder and Everstone Studio’s Where Winds Meet next to receive support for the technology with the 3D-Guided Neural Rendering feature.

Arriving in mid-November, War Thunder’s Eagle’s Shadow major update adds DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, dozens of new planes, ships and tanks, along with cluster bombs for planes and visual-effects enhancements increasing the realism and dynamism of battle.

In Where Winds Meet, DLSS support arrives Monday, Nov. 23, enhancing the environments and characters of its wuxia open-world action role-playing game.

Both titles will use the latest DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering model, released in October, which doubles model performance compared with the previous version. Since its initial announcement in March, model performance has improved tenfold, bringing the technology to more gamers, including GeForce NOW Ultimate members streaming with GeForce RTX 5080 cloud rigs.
