Nvidia unveiled several new features at Gamescom 2026, including ray-traced Nanite, a built-in anti-cheat system, and DLSS 4.5.

At Gamescom, Nvidia unveiled significant updates for developers, focusing on enhancements to DLSS, RTX, and their GeForce Now cloud platform.

The newly released DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, available for all GeForce RTX GPUs through the Nvidia app, is designed to enhance image quality. This technology merges "denoising and Super Resolution" into one integrated model, and supports 30 games initially, such as Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Developers can integrate this into their games via official updates.

This development follows criticism aimed at DLSS 5, which was introduced earlier. Some detractors argue it diminishes artistic control by overlaying AI elements on character models. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang refuted these claims, stating that DLSS 5 allows developers to manage game elements and textures using generative AI. Among the companies backing DLSS 5 are Bethesda, Capcom, NetEase, NCSoft, Tencent, Ubisoft, and Warner Bros Games.

Nvidia also announced fresh support for its RTX Spark, a Windows platform that integrates DLSS with Reflex and on-device AI agents. This platform is set to launch in the fall, featuring titles from Electronic Arts, Embark Studios, and Ubisoft like EA Sports F1 25, Apex Legends, and Arc Raiders. Companies such as Krafton, NetEase, Riot Games, and Xbox have also joined since their participation at Computex in May. Additionally, Nvidia collaborated with EA to integrate the Javelin anti-cheat system into the platform.

Scheduled for an October 6 release, Gears of War: E-Day will debut RTX Mega Geometry, allowing full-detail rendering in ray tracing with Unreal Engine 5's Nanite geometry system. This innovation, which took six years of research and development, will become part of Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing 2.0 standard, expanding ray-traced Nanite support for all UE5 games.

Remedy's Control Resonant will feature the entire DLSS 4.5 suite incorporating Ray Reconstruction and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, with added path-traced effects derived from the original Control's ray-tracing technology. Meanwhile, IO Interactive's 007 First Light will introduce path tracing and Ray Reconstruction on September 15.

Nvidia announced that eight more titles, including Aion 2, Black State, and Ananta, will soon offer DLSS 4.5 or ray-tracing support.

The RTX Remix tool for modding has been upgraded with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction and Multi Frame Generation. Additionally, a new update for Painkiller RTX revamps its first 15 levels, alongside a fresh Morrowind RTX mod showcasing the Seyda Neen and Balmora regions.

On the GeForce Now front, two new features, GOG single sign-on and Firefox support, have been activated. Moreover, an expanded range of compatibility with Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Fire TV will be introduced later this year. Day-one streaming is planned for games like Control Resonant and Gears of War: E-Day.

Nvidia partners introduced new displays at the event, such as AGON by AOC's debut of a 5K G-SYNC Pulsar monitor.
