Blizzard confirmed that CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered and Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on Battle.net before year-end, but the company emphasized it has no plans to compete with Steam. Blizzard maintains a selective curation approach, prioritizing games that appeal to its core audience rather than pursuing open self-publishing like Steam or Epic Games Store.
CD Projekt Red is bringing The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 to Blizzard's Battle.net launcher. A Geralt skin for Diablo 4's Barbarian class will be exclusive to those who pre-order The Witcher 3's Songs of the Past expansion on Battle.net, excluding Steam and console players and drawing criticism from the community over both the restriction and the skin's appearance.
A modder has successfully enabled NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation on GeForce RTX 20-series GPUs by adapting the DLSS-G runtime for Turing architecture, with testing on an RTX 2060 showing mixed results including ghosting artifacts at higher frame generation multipliers. The mod represents an extension of previous work on RTX 30 GPUs and differs from earlier approaches by using NVIDIA's native runtime rather than redirecting to AMD FSR 3.
NVIDIA is expanding DLSS support across eight games in September, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered receiving a free path tracing upgrade on September 29th. Other notable releases include DLSS 5 Neural Rendering in NBA 2K27, path tracing for 007 First Light, and new DLSS implementations in games like WARDOGS, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, and Aniimo.
