The highly anticipated *Watch Dogs: Legion* launches October 29th, taking players to a near-future London oppressed by authoritarian opportunists. To fight back, you’ll need to recruit characters to your Dedsec Resistance. Each character has a different skill set, enabling you to tackle missions and the large open world in numerous ways.

Previously, we revealed the addition of [beautiful ray-traced reflections](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/watch-dogs-legion-ray-tracing-trailer-screenshots.md) that bring dynamic reflectivity to surfaces across London, and now, we are announcing that NVIDIA DLSS will also be available in *Watch Dogs: Legion* at release. If you haven’t heard about the critically acclaimed [DLSS](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/nvidia-dlss-2-0-a-big-leap-in-ai-rendering.md) before now, it’s a deep learning neural network powered by dedicated AI processors (Tensor Cores) in[GeForce RTX GPUs](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/introducing-rtx-30-series-graphics-cards.md) that boost frame rates while generating beautiful, crisp game images. DLSS gives gamers the performance headroom to maximize game settings and increase output resolutions, for a superior, higher-fidelity experience.

## Introducing DLSS Ultra Performance Mode For 8K Gaming In Watch Dogs: Legion

*Watch Dogs: Legion* will also be one of the first titles to support our new DLSS Ultra Performance mode, which makes [8K gaming](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/8k.md) possible when playing on the new [GeForce RTX 3090](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/introducing-rtx-30-series-graphics-cards.md).

[Driving 8K is incredibly demanding](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/geforce-rtx-3090-8k-hdr-gaming.md) - it’s 33 million pixels per frame, which is 4X the size of 4K. The new DLSS Ultra Performance mode delivers 9x AI Super Resolution (1440p internal rendering output at 8K using AI), while maintaining crisp image quality. And along with the GeForce RTX 3090’s 24GB frame buffer and powerful rendering capabilities, 8K is now a reality, even in demanding ray-traced games like *Watch Dogs: Legion*.

“*I was blown away seeing near-future London come to life in 8K on the LG OLED TV. The GeForce RTX 3090 brings ray tracing to life at 8K with the power of AI and NVIDIA DLSS.*” – Lathieeshe Thillainathan, Producer, Ubisoft
