NVIDIA Rolls Out New GeForce Game Ready Driver And RTX Remix v1.5, Adds DLSS Support to Zenless Zone Zero v3.0, Squad, Reaper Actual And More

by Rainier on June 16, 2026 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

This week, Zenless Zone Zero Version 3.0 launches with support for DLSS and new ray-traced effects on PC, alongside the game's official Steam debut. Also, Squad upgraded its DLSS integration, and Reaper Actual is available now, with DLSS that can be upgraded to 4.5 via the NVIDIA app.

NVIDIA has also released a new GeForce Game Ready Driver that optimizes your system for the latest releases featuring DLSS and RTX technologies, including Empulse. You can download the new GeForce Game Ready 610.62 WHQL driver through the NVIDIA app, or from GeForce.com.

Additionally, NVIDIA RTX Remix 1.5 is now available, introducing a new packaging workflow and accessibility features and Remix Skills designed to help modders accelerate development workflows using AI-powered assistants. You can find an overview below and can read more here:

  • Smooth Normals: A top requested community feature, is now available. It adds automatic smooth-normal generation for captured legacy geometry, making older assets look less blocky or faceted under path-traced lighting.
  • RTX IO: RTX Remix 1.5 includes new RTX IO compression options in the packaging workflow, including split-size presets from 1GB to 16GB. RTX IO is our high-performance storage technology that speeds up game loading and reduces CPU overhead. Portal with RTXPortal: Prelude RTX, and the Half-Life 2 RTX demo have officially integrated RTX IO. Thanks to this update, file sizes have dropped significantly: Portal with RTX has been reduced from 25 GB to 17 GB, while Half-Life 2 RTX has shrunk from 80 GB to 50 GB.
  • Viewport Light Controls: RTX Remix 1.5 adds new and improved viewport light controls. Now, existing light manipulators are easier to manage through a unified viewport lights menu, with persistent toggles for manipulator visibility and intensity controls.
  • RTX Remix Skills: We recently published several RTX Remix Skills, text-based instruction files that provide specific functional context to AI coding agents. These files include guides on creating feature branches, conducting unit tests, preparing merge requests, and much more. By making coding agents smarter, modders can accelerate the remastering process.

Here's a closer look at new and updated games integrating RTX technologies:

  • Zenless Zone Zero: On June 17, HoYoverse's urban fantasy ARPG Zenless Zone Zero receives a major update introducing ray-traced reflections, ambient occlusion and global illumination lighting on PC.
