DLSS 4.5 arrives for Forza Horizon 6, Directive 8020, Subnautica 2

NVIDIA’s newest Game Ready driver is live today, bringing DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and DLSS with Multi-Frame Generation to a fresh batch of high-profile titles: Forza Horizon 6, Directive 8020 and Subnautica 2.

What’s new in today’s driver

Per a new Wccftech report published May 13, 2026, NVIDIA’s update adds DLSS 4.5 support across the trio, with Multi-Frame Generation in the mix for additional performance uplift where enabled. The driver is positioned to land ahead of this week’s major releases so players and press can test with the latest tech from day one.

Where each game stands

Directive 8020 launched yesterday, and the driver lines it up with DLSS 4.5 along with Ray Reconstruction and even path tracing support at release, according to Wccftech. Subnautica 2 is included on the list as it continues through its run-up, while Forza Horizon 6 is the big PC showcase title this month.

For Forza fans specifically, the timing matters. Wccftech notes premium edition owners can start playing on Friday, May 15, with the full launch set for May 19, 2026. Having DLSS 4.5 and Multi-Frame Generation ready now means PC players with RTX 50-series hardware can benchmark and tune settings ahead of the Horizon Festival’s Japan debut.

Early performance guidance

NVIDIA’s own driver brief highlights aggressive targets for Forza Horizon 6 with DLSS 4.5 and Multi-Frame Generation on RTX 50-series cards, citing triple-digit frame rates at 4K for top-end GPUs. You can find those figures and the download in NVIDIA’s driver post.

Why it matters

DLSS 4.5 is the headline feature on PC this season, and rolling it into a flagship racer, a cinematic horror debut for the new anthology season, and a survival sandbox sequel on the same driver helps standardize testing, reviews and day-one coverage. If you’re planning to jump into Forza Horizon 6 early access on May 15 or wait for the wide launch on May 19, installing today’s driver gets you the latest Super Resolution, Frame Gen support and image-quality updates out of the box.
