Alongside the Battlemage GPU launch, Intel has announced XeSS 2, its next-generation upscaling technology. XeSS 2 introduces frame generation and a low latency mode for significant performance improvements and smoother gameplay.
XeSS 2 Features
Frame Generation
XeSS 2's frame generation uses AI interpolation to create new frames, boosting performance by up to 3.9x in Ultra Performance mode at 1440p with Ultra settings. Even at the Quality preset, gamers can expect a 2.8x performance increase.
Xe Low Latency (XeLL)
XeLL, Intel's low latency mode, minimizes latency, especially when using frame generation. Similar to NVIDIA Reflex and AMD Anti-Lag 2, XeLL improves system responsiveness by up to 45% in 1440p Ultra gaming.
Supported Games
Initially, 10 games will support XeSS 2:
- Assassin's Creed: Shadows
- Harry Potter Quidditch: Champions
- Robocop: Rogue City
- Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
- Dying Light 2: Stay Human
- F1 24
- Ascendant
- Marvel Rivals
- Killing Floor III

With XeSS 2, Intel catches up with NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3, offering competitive upscaling and frame generation technology.
