Intel’s upscaling technology, XeSS, is making quite a splash by securing support from over 200 games, which highlights its growing appeal within the gaming community.
Initially launched amidst well-entrenched players like NVIDIA’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR, Intel’s XeSS seemed to have a tough battle ahead. Early on, it encountered challenges in gaining a foothold in the market. However, thanks to Intel’s relentless push to integrate XeSS into more games, it’s now emerging as a strong contender against the more established alternatives. This is evident as XeSS has now been integrated into more than two hundred titles, as noted by @Haze2K1 on Twitter, with potential for further expansion.
The broadening acceptance of XeSS underscores a clear interest from gamers and a willingness from developers to integrate this technology into new gaming projects. Despite its smaller market share in the GPU arena, Intel’s XeSS is winning the hearts of gamers who are starting to favor it over native GPU solutions. This is a promising indication for Intel’s wider GPU goals.
An image from the article shows Intel XeSS competing closely with NVIDIA’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR, with notable improvements in motion clarity and reduced ghosting in games like Horizon Forbidden West.
While we lack a complete list of supported titles, Steam hosts 201 games that now include XeSS compatibility. The surge in titles embracing XeSS this year coincides with a booming period for the gaming industry, making it remarkable to witness Intel gaining traction despite a traditionally slow-moving GPU sector.
Looking ahead, Intel’s upscaling technology is poised to play a significant role, especially with upcoming next-gen GPU architectures on the horizon that promise substantial performance boosts. This could lead to higher consumer adoption rates and offer XeSS a chance to further solidify its position and potentially even rival DLSS and FSR in the market. As development continues at its current pace, XeSS might just redefine the landscape of game upscaling technologies.
