A no-brainer for a game like Witchfire, which is both action and beauty.” DLSS 3 allows the seemingly impossible, high frame rate without compromising the visuals. So you start lowering the quality of visuals in order to achieve that smooth gameplay. “You enjoy it for a while but then, especially if it’s an action game, you realize that the framerate is king.

“You start the game, push all graphics options to the max,” writes Witchfire creative director Adrian Chmielarz in a press release. Developer The Astronauts notes that the tech is an especially strong fit for the fast-paced nature of Witchfire. That in turn boosts performance without forcing players to compromise on resolution. The unique technology uses AI to generate additional frames while playing a game. The trailer confirms that the title will utilize Nvidia DLSS 3. The new 45-second gameplay clip shows off some of its combat, as its hero rips through demons Doom-style with guns, fists, and crossbows. It’s a fast-paced action game with open-ended levels, though the developer emphasizes it’s not an open-world game. Witchfire is a fantasy first-person shooter set to launch sometime this year, following its delay in 2022.
