Intel’s XeSS Upscaling Technology Now Supported in Over 200 Games

Intel’s XeSS, their proprietary upscaling technology, has hit a significant milestone, gaining support in more than 200 games, showcasing its growing appeal.

Intel’s XeSS: A Genuine Rival to DLSS and FSR

When Team Blue introduced XeSS, it landed in a competitive landscape dominated by NVIDIA’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR. Although it initially struggled with market penetration, Intel’s relentless efforts have positioned XeSS as a viable alternative to these well-established technologies. Thanks to constant enhancement and support, XeSS now boasts compatibility with over 200 titles, as reported by @Haze2K1, with even more growth potential on the horizon.

The increased embrace of XeSS underscores the growing interest among consumers and an eagerness among game developers to build XeSS support into their titles. Even with a smaller footprint in the GPU market, the steady adoption of XeSS suggests many gamers are choosing this technology over what’s natively available on their GPUs. This trend marks a promising step forward for Intel’s broader ambitions in the GPU sector.

While specifics about which games support XeSS remain elusive, Steam currently lists 201 titles that have adopted this upscaling technology. It’s fascinating to note that many of these games incorporated XeSS this year, a testament to 2024’s strong performance in the gaming industry. This recognition for Intel’s technology comes as a surprise, particularly given their historically slow progress in the GPU market.

Looking ahead, XeSS is poised to play a crucial role as Intel releases forthcoming generations of GPU architectures that promise substantial performance boosts. This progress could drive higher consumer adoption rates, possibly enabling XeSS to rival or even surpass the market leaders like DLSS and FSR if it continues to develop at its current pace.
