Intel has just released its latest Game On Driver for Intel Arc graphics, which adds official support for Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut and Homeworld 3. This free download also fixes performance issues in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Dead Space.

The Intel Game On Driver version 31.0.101.5518 affects all Intel Arc GPUs, such as the Intel Arc A770 graphics card, as well as the integrated graphics in some of the company’s latest CPUs. While Intel’s GPUs haven’t managed to find a place on our best graphics card guide yet, they’re still used by many people, and this driver will be a crucial download for any gamers wanting to get the best from the above titles.

While some new graphics driver downloads offer a whole host of other features and fixes to go with the headline-grabbing features, on this occasion, the above features are all Intel has added. The company also doesn’t go into specifics about what the official support for Ghost of Tsushima PC and Homeworld 3 involves, and there’s no information on the performance issues in the other two games either. Intel just states that they’re now supported and fixed respectively.

Intel lists some other known issues in the driver release notes as well, which the company will no doubt be looking to address in future releases. You can download the new Intel driver here, while the full release notes are shown below:
