Nixxes adds XeSS 3 to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach with Patch 1.8
Patch 1.8 has arrived for Death Stranding 2, and alongside several bug fixes, this update brings XeSS 3 to the game. This enables support for XeSS Multi Frame Generation for Intel GPU users. This includes users of ARC A-series and B-series discrete GPUs, as well as the ARC GPUs inside Core Ultra 1, 2, and 3 series CPUs.
This update is great news for Intel GPU users. This update should be great news for users of Intel’s upcoming ARC G3 series handhelds, including the Acer Predator Atlas 8. These systems use custom Intel Panther Lake processors with Xe3 graphics chips.
Death Stranding has also been updated to support XeLL on Intel GPUs. XeLL is Intel’s low-latency gaming technology, which offers benefits similar to Nvidia Reflex and AMD Anti-Lag 2.
