I hope developers can add support for Xess 2 SR + FG + LL. This will be very helpful for the growth of 6 million handheld game console users and games worldwide, because you will no longer have to sacrifice image quality for the number of FPS frames.

[Suggestion] Please Keep Supporting XeSS 2.0+ in No Rest for the Wicked — A Must-Have for Intel Handhelds (MSI Claw 8, etc.)
Hey devs & fellow handheld fans ![]()
I wanted to share a detailed suggestion about XeSS 2.0+ support and why it’s so important for the growing number of us playing No Rest for the Wicked on Intel-based handhelds like the MSI Claw 8.

Handheld Gaming Is Exploding
Millions of gamers are now playing on handheld Windows PCs — Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, MSI Claw 8, and more. Total shipments exceed 6 million units worldwide as of 2025.
⸻
XeSS 2.0+ = Game-Changing Performance Boost
Benchmarks show XeSS 2.0+ offers 30–60% FPS uplift at 1080p on Intel ARC and Meteor Lake iGPUs, with AI-driven motion vectors and temporal feedback delivering cleaner, low-latency visuals compared to FSR 3/4.

Why No Rest for the Wicked Needs XeSS
The game’s art and effects are gorgeous but demanding. XeSS 2.0+ unlocks smooth gameplay on handhelds without sacrificing visuals, especially on Intel iGPUs where DLSS isn’t available.
⸻
Our Request
Please continue supporting and updating XeSS 2.0+ in future patches. It’s a small effort with huge impact, future-proofing the game for the rapidly growing handheld market.

Thanks for making No Rest for the Wicked so amazing! Looking forward to future updates.
