Death Stranding Director’s Cut has received a new update that adds XeSS (Xe Super Sampling), Intel’s AI-enhanced upscaling technology for enabling more performance with high image fidelity. The feature was originally teased in January when the game was announced, with publisher 505 Games promising how machine learning would allow players to explore the unique environments of the game in “high graphical detail along with elevated performance.”
