DLSS 4.5's Ray Reconstruction feature, running on a second-generation transformer model, is rolling out to all GeForce RTX GPUs with 30 launch titles. GeForce Now adds new DLSS 4.5 controls, GOG single sign-on, Firefox support, and Steam Machine compatibility. RTX Mega Geometry brings ray-traced Nanite geometry to Unreal Engine 5, debuting in Gears of War: E-Day, with Nvidia saying it may be folded into DirectX Raytracing 2.0. Other items include path tracing for CONTROL Resonant and 007 First Light, NVIDIA ACE coming to Aniimo in early 2027, and RTX Remix updates for Painkiller RTX and Morrowind RTX. ## Content Nvidia used Gamescom to drop a pile of announcements, and the throughline is clear: RTX Spark is getting real publisher support, DLSS 4.5 is rolling out broadly, and ray tracing keeps eating into territory that used to belong to rasterization tricks. ## RTX Spark picks up major publishers RTX Spark, Nvidia's Windows platform pairing DLSS and Reflex with on-device AI agents, now has Electronic Arts, Embark Studios, and Ubisoft on board, joining earlier partners KRAFTON, NetEase, Riot Games, and Xbox. That's a meaningfully longer partner list than what RTX Spark launched with, and it comes right before the platform's fall release. Games confirmed to be optimized for Spark devices include F1 25, Apex Legends, Anno 117: Pax Romana, ARC Raiders, and THE FINALS. EA is also bringing its Javelin Anticheat natively to the platform, which matters more than it sounds like — anti-cheat support (or the lack of it) has been a recurring headache for newer PC gaming hardware platforms trying to get competitive multiplayer titles on board. ## DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction goes wide DLSS 4.5's Ray Reconstruction feature is now available for all GeForce RTX GPUs, running on a second-generation transformer model, with 30 titles supported at launch. That's a notable jump from a feature that started out fairly limited in scope. GeForce Now is getting new DLSS 4.5 controls too, alongside GOG single sign-on, Firefox support, and Steam Machine compatibility — small quality-of-life additions, but ones that chip away at friction for cloud gaming users. ## Ray-traced Nanite is coming to Unreal Engine 5 The more technically interesting announcement is RTX Mega Geometry, which brings ray-traced Nanite geometry rendering to Unreal Engine 5. It's debuting in Gears of War: E-Day, and Nvidia says it's set to be folded into Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing 2.0 standard. If that happens, this stops being an Nvidia-specific trick and becomes part of how ray tracing works on PC going forward — worth watching. ## Everything else A few more items worth noting from the announcement pile: Path tracing is coming to CONTROL Resonant and 007 First Light. NVIDIA ACE, the company's AI character tech, is headed to Aniimo in early 2027. RTX Remix is getting a Painkiller RTX update, with Morrowind RTX in the pipeline. It's a lot of moving pieces, but the pattern is consistent: Nvidia is betting hard on AI-assisted rendering becoming the default way games get built and run, not a side feature bolted on for marketing slides. ## Questions this post answers ### What is Nvidia's RTX Mega Geometry and how does it relate to Unreal Engine 5's Nanite system? RTX Mega Geometry brings ray-traced rendering support to Unreal Engine 5's Nanite geometry system, letting Nanite's high-detail meshes be ray traced rather than relying only on rasterization tricks. It debuts in Gears of War: E-Day, and Nvidia expects it to be incorporated into Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing 2.0 standard, which would make it a broader PC ray-tracing feature rather than an Nvidia-only technique. _daily.dev surfaces engine and rendering updates like this for developers tracking Unreal Engine's ray-tracing roadmap._ ### Which GPUs support DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction and how many games use it at launch? DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction is available on all GeForce RTX GPUs, running on a second-generation transformer model, with 30 titles supported at launch. This is a significant expansion from the feature's original, more limited scope, and GeForce Now cloud gaming is also getting new DLSS 4.5 controls alongside GOG single sign-on and Firefox support. _developers optimizing for DLSS can follow rollout details like this on daily.dev._ ### Which game publishers support Nvidia's RTX Spark platform and what titles are optimized for it? RTX Spark, Nvidia's Windows platform combining DLSS and Reflex with on-device AI agents, added Electronic Arts, Embark Studios, and Ubisoft to existing partners KRAFTON, NetEase, Riot Games, and Xbox. Optimized titles include F1 25, Apex Legends, Anno 117: Pax Romana, ARC Raiders, and THE FINALS, with EA also bringing native Javelin Anticheat support ahead of the platform's fall release. _daily.dev helps developers evaluating platform partnerships like RTX Spark stay on top of ecosystem shifts._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [NVIDIA RTX Innovations Are Powering the Next Era of Game Development](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-rtx-innovations-are-powering-the-next-era-of-game-development-8jywf17lp) · NVIDIA Developer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Build AI-Powered Games with NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, RTX, and Unreal Engine 5](https://daily.dev/posts/build-ai-powered-games-with-nvidia-dlss-4-5-rtx-and-unreal-engine-5-qfd5583zn) · NVIDIA Developer · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#gpu](https://daily.dev/tags/gpu), [#unreal-engine](https://daily.dev/tags/unreal-engine) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-s-gamescom-2026-lineup-rtx-spark-expands-dlss-4-5-ships-and-ray-traced-nanite-arrives-ajni395qp)
