Intel’s XeSS Surpasses 200 Supported Games, Cementing Its Place Among Upscaling Technologies
Intel’s XeSS upscaling technology has reached a significant milestone, securing support in over 200 gaming titles. Once seen as a newcomer in a market dominated by NVIDIA’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR, XeSS is rapidly gaining traction among developers and gamers alike, thanks to consistent advancements and integration efforts.
A Viable Alternative to DLSS and FSR
Launched alongside well-established alternatives, Intel XeSS initially faced challenges in market adoption due to Intel's smaller footprint in the GPU market. However, with 201 Steam games now supporting XeSS, it has proven itself as a serious contender, offering a viable upscaling solution for gamers looking for better visuals without sacrificing performance.
Adoption Growth: Most of the titles supporting XeSS were added in 2024, a remarkable year for gaming, reflecting the growing developer trust and gamer preference for this technology.
Consumer Appeal: XeSS is increasingly seen as a favored alternative to native GPU upscaling options, showcasing Intel’s potential in carving out a niche in the competitive GPU space.
Advantages and Future Prospects
Intel’s ongoing development of XeSS, now at version 1.3, has shown impressive results in Horizon Forbidden West, with better motion clarity and less ghosting, matching or even surpassing some aspects of DLSS. With Intel poised to launch next-gen GPU architectures, the enhanced performance could lead to higher consumer adoption, propelling XeSS into a more competitive position against DLSS and FSR.
