Asobo Studio Will Add DLSS to Microsoft Flight Simulator

According to developer Asobo Studio, the PC edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator will have support for Nvidia DLSS later this year. 

DLSS for Microsoft Flight Simulator will be released 'later this year', according to the company. The upscaling method will be employed in the game's DirectX 12 mode according to the company. There is no other information provided. DLSS is a "supersampling" technique developed by Nvidia that takes advantage of the Tensor cores found in RTX graphics cards. A game is rendered in a lower resolution than the original. After that, artificial intelligence upscaling is used to improve the image's quality. Frame rates could be greatly improved as a result of this.

The firm makes no mention of a specific date for when the upgrade will be made available to customers.
