DLSS 4 adoption continues with Arknights: Endfield, but how will it feel in players' hands?

NVIDIA is giving PC gamers with RTX cards a few good reasons to be excited this week. According to NVIDIA's latest announcement, the highly anticipated Arknights: Endfield is launching with day-one support for DLSS 4. This includes its impressive Multi Frame Generation feature, promising a massive performance uplift for those with the right hardware.

An Endfield of frames

Let's address the big number right away: NVIDIA claims a 3X average frame rate increase at 4K for Arknights: Endfield on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. That's a mighty impressive figure. For a 3D real-time strategy RPG, that kind of performance boost translates directly into a more fluid and responsive experience, which is critical when you're managing operators on the battlefield. I find that high frame rates in strategy games make issuing commands feel instant and satisfying.

Developer HYPERGRYPH is also integrating NVIDIA Reflex, which should help reduce system latency. It's clear they're aiming to make the PC version the definitive way to play. While some of these features are tied to the newest cards, it's good to see developers embracing the full suite of tools available. This follows up on some of NVIDIA's recent announcements about pushing performance further.

More RTX goodness this week

Arknights isn't the only game getting the DLSS treatment. A demo for Styx: Blades of Greed is now available on Steam, and it also supports DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. For a stealth game, every frame counts. Smooth performance can be the difference between a perfect infiltration and getting spotted because of a sudden stutter. We're keen to see how it enhances the stealth-action gameplay the series is known for.

Elsewhere, Moon Studios (the brilliant minds behind the Ori series) is adding four-player co-op to its early access RPG, No Rest for the Wicked, on 22 January. The update includes native support for DLSS Super Resolution. Finally, the camping survival adventure The Gold River Project launches on 23 January, also with DLSS Super Resolution to help accelerate frame rates. It's a solid lineup that shows how widespread this tech is becoming.

Launch dates and availability

While specific UAE pricing for these titles hasn't been announced, they will be available through standard PC storefronts like Steam. Here’s a quick rundown of when you can get your hands on them:

• Arknights: Endfield: Launches this week.
• Styx: Blades of Greed: Demo available now, full game releases on 19 February.
• No Rest for the Wicked: Co-op update arrives on 22 January.
