Manor Lords Gets Game Ready Driver + DLSS 2 Support and Will Be on Game Pass

Manor Lords is currently the most wishlisted game on Steam ahead of games like Hades II and Black Myth: Wukong, having surpassed two million wishlists earlier this year.

There's obviously a lot of hype for this upcoming medieval indie strategy game, which likely explains why NVIDIA has already released a Game Ready driver optimized for it ten days before the early access launch date. You can download Game Ready driver 552.22 now via the NVIDIA app beta, GeForce Experience, or GeForce.com. The driver is also optimized for No Rest for the Wicked by Moon Studios (which launches on Steam Early Access in two days) and packs a few bug fixes detailed in the official changelog:

Manor Lords also supports NVIDIA DLSS 2 (Super Resolution). NVIDIA has provided its own benchmarks, revealing that an RTX 4080 SUPER GPU can reach 120 average frames per second at 4K with max settings and DLSS 2 set to Performance mode. An RTX 4070Ti SUPER averages 108.3 FPS, the RTX 4070 SUPER registered 90.8 FPS, and the RTX 4070 stopped at 75.6 FPS.

Today, Microsoft also revealed that Manor Lords is among the games that will be added this month to Game Pass. Harold Halibut, Orcs Must Die! 3, EA Sports NHL 24, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Another Crab’s Treasure, and Have A Nice Death form the rest of the Game Pass lineup for April. On the way out are 7 Days to Die, Besiege, EA Sports NHL 22, Loot River, Pikuniku, and Ravenlok.

Manor Lords was made by a solo developer and is expected to stay in early access for around a year.
