Gamescom has released over 600 RTX games and apps and announced 20 more

An ecosystem of technology known as RTX enables high-performance, high-fidelity gaming. Ray Tracing gives video games realistic lighting and reflections by utilizing specialized RT Cores. Tensor Cores provide industry-leading AI graphics acceleration using NVIDIA DLSS, which may give up to 5 times quicker performance in the most immersive games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Star Wars Outlaws and Black Myth: Wukong.
The most popular creative apps in the world are also integrated with RTX, which speeds up workflows exponentially, powers innovative AI tools and improvements, and allows real-time ray-traced previews in programs that used to take hours to render even a single frame.
It revealed 20 additional RTX and DLSS Arena Breakout integrations at Gamescom 2024: Avowed, Black State, Concord, Infinite, FragPunk, Funko Fusion, Greedfall II: The Dying World, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Killing Floor 3, Kingmakers, Mecha BREAK, Once Human, Dune: Awakening, Empire of the Ants, Eternal Strands, FINAL FANTASY XVI, Deathtrap, Unawake, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, Retrieval, and SPINE.
In addition, DLSS 3 and complete ray tracing were added to Black Myth: Wukong, and a special Star Wars Outlaws GeForce RTX 40 Series bundle was introduced. Watch the latest trailer for Half-Life 2: An RTX Remix Project, which has full ray tracing and DLSS 3.5 acceleration.

Mecha BREAK game
ACE Technologies Featured in Mecha Break’s First Game
With the use of generative AI, NVIDIA ACE is a ground-breaking suite of digital human technologies that brings digital beings to life. Since making its debut in the Ramen Shop tech demo at Computex 2023, ACE’s capabilities have swiftly expanded.
It unveiled its first on-device small language model powered by digital human technologies at Gamescom 2024, enhancing the conversational skills of game characters. It also revealed that Amazing Seasun Game’s Mecha BREAK is the first game to feature these ACE and digital human technologies, bringing its characters to life and offering a more dynamic and engaging gameplay experience on GeForce RTX AI PCs.
In the first demonstration of ACE-powered gaming interactions, Amazing Seasun Games, a division of Kingsoft Corporation, has developed Mecha BREAK, a game that uses the NVIDIA Nemotron-4 4B Instruct NIM operating on-device. The character’s voice is powered by Elevenlabs via the cloud, and on-device facial animation and speech recognition are provided by NVIDIA Audio2Face-3D NIM and OpenAI’s automatic speech recognition model, Whisper.
In the multiplayer mech game Mecha BREAK, users can select from a variety of mechs, alter their appearances, and engage in combat with enormous war machines over perilous terrain. Players can converse naturally with game characters in the ACE demonstration demo, especially the player’s mechanism. Get guidance on goals, the best mech for the job, and other things before having their mech’s paint job rapidly changed for maximum bling on the battlefield.
Amazing Seasun Games CEO Kris Kwok stated, “We’re excited to showcase the power and potential of ACE NIMs in Mecha BREAK, using Audio2Face and NVIDIA Nemotron-4 4B Instruct to dramatically enhance in-game immersion.”
Mecha BREAK release date
In 2025, Mecha BREAK will be released. On the game’s Steam page, users can register for upcoming playtests. Check out its DLSS 3 gameplay reveal to see how its action-packed gameplay is improved with day one NVIDIA DLSS 3 support.
