Modern display technologies and performance-boosting upscalers are now being integrated into beloved older games, thanks to dedicated modding communities.

The innovative modding project, Luma Framework, continues its expansion, progressively introducing support for HDR, NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and other cutting-edge features into a growing library of previously released titles.

Currently, games that are fully playable with DLSS/FSR support through Luma Framework include:

  • Granblue Fantasy Relink
  • Mafia III
  • Watch Dogs (the original)

To demonstrate the impact of these enhancements, developers have shared comparison screenshots from the first Watch Dogs game running at 1080p:

Looking ahead, the modders behind Luma Framework have outlined an ambitious roadmap for future game support. The following titles are next in line to receive these performance and visual upgrades:

  • Watch Dogs 2
  • Batman: Arkham Knight
  • Quantum Break
  • Dying Light
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance
  • Granblue Fantasy Relink (further optimizations or specific features)

A preview image from the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight implementation has also been showcased:
