## ***Intel XeSS Technology Hits New Milestone: 200+ Games Supported, XeSS 2 Expands to 19 Titles***

### **What Is XeSS and Why It Matters**

Initially launched three years ago, **Intel XeSS** is a performance-boosting technology that uses AI-based upscaling and temporal data to improve frame rates and image quality in games — particularly on lower-end hardware. While **[NVIDIA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia) DLSS** and **AMD FSR** have dominated the space, Intel’s XeSS is catching up by expanding support and improving its capabilities with **XeSS 2**.

### **Assassin’s Creed Shadows: A New Benchmark for XeSS 2**

The headline title among XeSS 2’s new additions is **Assassin’s Creed: Shadows**, scheduled to release on **May 19**. According to Intel, turning on XeSS 2 in this AAA title more than **doubles the FPS** compared to native resolution — jumping from around **30–40 FPS to over 80 FPS** on an **Intel Arc B580 GPU**.

### **XeSS 2 Performance Gains: From Unplayable to Smooth**

Intel’s recent performance showcase highlighted massive gains in popular titles like **Marvel Rivals** and **Rise of the Ronin**:

- **Marvel Rivals**: From 43 FPS (native) to 138 FPS (with XeSS 2)
- **Rise of the Ronin**: From 37 FPS to 100 FPS

These figures prove the real-world impact XeSS 2 can have, particularly for gamers on mid-range and budget systems. Intel’s **Arc B580 GPU**, priced at $250, combined with XeSS 2, provides a compelling value proposition for cost-conscious gamers.

### **Expanding Ecosystem: More Support Coming Soon**

XeSS 2, which debuted with only a couple of supported games earlier this year, is now officially supported in 19 games, with more on the way. Thanks to the release of the **XeSS 2 SDK**, developers are now more easily integrating this technology into their engines.

The broader XeSS ecosystem now includes **over 200 games**, marking Intel’s strong intent to stay competitive in the AI upscaling race alongside NVIDIA and AMD.

### **Not Just for Intel GPUs**

One major advantage of XeSS is its **hardware-agnostic design**. While Intel Arc GPUs and **Intel Core Ultra 9 285H** processors see the best results, XeSS doesn’t require exclusive Intel hardware, allowing a broader user base to benefit from performance improvements.

### **A Solid Step Forward for Intel Gaming**

Intel’s gaming tech may still be catching up to its rivals, but **XeSS and XeSS 2 are rapidly gaining ground**, helping to make more games enjoyable for a wider range of hardware. With 19 games now supporting XeSS 2 and over 200 embracing the original XeSS, Intel is demonstrating a serious commitment to gamers and developers alike.
