F1 24 has received its final update of the year (v1.16), bringing several new features, including official support for Intel's XeSS 2 upscaling technology. However, the technology isn't functional yet as it requires Intel to release compatible drivers.
The patch notes confirm that XeSS 2 in F1 24 includes support for both Frame Generation (FG) and Low Latency (LL) modes. It's currently unclear whether these are mandatory components of XeSS 2 or optional features.
Intel XeSS 2 Features:
- XeSS-SR: Super Resolution (upscaling)
- XeSS-FG: Frame Generation
- Xe-LL: Low Latency
Even with updated drivers, these features may not be available on all hardware. Frame Generation, in particular, will likely be limited to Intel's Battlemage and Alchemist GPUs initially, while XeSS-SR, being a cross-vendor solution, might already function on a broader range of hardware.
Intel has announced several other games slated to receive XeSS 2 support, although specific timelines are yet to be confirmed. Marvel's Rivals is a likely candidate, given its existing libraries.
More information is available on the F1 24 Steam page.
