NVIDIA brings DLSS 4.5 controls to GeForce NOW, plus Enshrouded 1.0
NVIDIA has added DLSS 4.5 controls to GeForce NOW, giving members more choice over how supported games look and perform in the cloud. The update comes with the full launch of Enshrouded and the arrival of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 in the service's library.
- NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 controls are now available on GeForce NOW for supported games.
- Ultimate members on GeForce RTX 5080-powered cloud rigs get Dynamic Multi Frame Generation up to 4X.
- Enshrouded 1.0 and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 are streaming on GeForce NOW at launch.
- Ten new games join the library this week.
- A DLSS 5 model with 2X better performance debuts in NBA 2K27 on Oct. 16.
What the DLSS 4.5 controls do
According to NVIDIA, the new controls let GeForce NOW members tune supported games for image quality, responsiveness or a balance between the two, even without the latest hardware. The company says DLSS Super Resolution sharpens image quality, while Dynamic Multi Frame Generation delivers lower latency and reduces stutter for smoother streaming. Ray Reconstruction, it adds, enhances ray-traced visuals.
Ultimate members streaming on GeForce RTX 5080-powered cloud rigs get the maximum available options, including Dynamic Multi Frame Generation up to 4X. NVIDIA names 007 First Light, which now supports path tracing, CONTROL Resonant and Resident Evil Requiem among the supported games.
The settings can be found in the GeForce NOW app under settings, on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Steam OS platforms. NVIDIA points members to a separate page for details on how the feature works with each membership tier.
Enshrouded 1.0 and Boltgun 2 stream at launch
Keen Games' co-op survival action role-playing game Enshrouded has left early access with its 1.0 release, and it is ready to play on GeForce NOW at launch. Players take the role of a Flameborn in a world consumed by a corrupting fog. NVIDIA lists nine new spells, new mage and archer skills, reworked wands and upgradeable Eternal spells and arrows among the combat additions. New enemy variants arrive too, and a new biome raises the player level cap to 50 and the equipment cap to 55. Streaming also means skipping the 60GB local install, according to NVIDIA.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, the sequel to the retro first-person shooter, is also streaming. It picks up directly after the original game and offers a branching single-player campaign. Players choose between Sternguard Veteran Malum Caedo and Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath, each with distinct abilities, weapons and play styles.
New library additions and DLSS 5 update
Ten games are joining the GeForce NOW library this week:
- Deep Dish Dungeon (Steam, Oct. 13)
- Planet Zoo 2 (Steam, Oct. 13)
- Total War: SHOGUN 2, Complete Edition (Steam, Oct. 13)
- Valor Mortis (Steam, Oct. 13)
- Among the Trolls (Steam, Oct. 14)
- over the hill (Steam, Oct. 14)
- Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 (Steam, Oct. 14)
- Beyond These Stars (Steam and Xbox, Oct. 15, available on Game Pass)
- Tenebris Somnia (Steam, Oct. 16)
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Remastered (Xbox, available on Microsoft Store)
NVIDIA notes that the dates reflect store releases, and that GeForce NOW availability may vary because games are onboarded after release and added throughout the week.
The company also says the performance of the DLSS 5 3D-Guided Neural Rendering model is improving by 2X. The more performant model will debut in NBA 2K27 on Oct. 16 on GeForce NOW, GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and RTX Spark laptops.
What it means for members
For GeForce NOW users, the update adds a way to adjust supported games to their own preference rather than relying on a fixed setup. Those who want to try it can start with a day pass, and NVIDIA says its cost can be applied toward a first monthly membership.
