Late last week, Team Blue's gaming division celebrated a new milestone—their social media account released a 20-second-long video that swept across a large sprawl of modern titles. The accompanying message boasted: "we've hit the mark on 150+ games with XeSS support, with more on the way! Experience peak gaming for yourself with Intel XeSS AI upscaling today." Intel's launch of Arc "Alchemist" discrete graphics cards marked a more mainstream introduction for their proprietary Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) technology. Earlier in 2022, Xe LP-based iGPUs and Iris Xe MAX discrete GPUs were the first pieces of Team Blue hardware to be enabled with XeSS support.
XeSS 2 was introduced last December—during the official unveiling of Intel's Arc B580 "Battlemage" graphics card—but not enough time has elapsed to gain widespread support. VideoCardz's weekend sleuthing revealed only two compatible titles—in contrast, Team Blue's first-gen super sampling upscaler support list now numbers 159. Since late last year, PC gamers have been snapping up wallet-friendly Arc B580 models. Another—slightly cheaper—XeSS 2-enabled product arrived last month; with the release of Arc B570 cards. We hope that the number of (XeSS 2) supported titles increases, in parallel with the rising popularity of Battlemage GPUs.
