Intel® Arc™ Game On Driver for Last Epoch* and Sea of Thieves* Season 11, plus more FPS on Intel® Core™ Ultra CPU

by Zachary Hill |

Intel® Game On Drivers deliver the best experience for gamers playing on Intel Graphics with optimized launch-day patches and performance updates as new games release.

Uncover the past and reforge the future in time-twisting Last Epoch, an action role-playing-game built by gamers, for gamers. Sea of Thieves Season 11 brings a treasure trove of new progression and rewards along with support for DirectX 12, improving performance on Intel Arc graphics like never before. Over a dozen DirectX 11 games get a big boost on laptops powered by Intel Core Ultra processors with Intel Arc graphics built-in too!

Last Epoch

With a team of dedicated gamers behind its development, Last Epoch does RPG depth right. 15 mastery classes branch into over 100 transformative skill trees, but crafting your perfect character doesn’t stop there. Extensive cosmetic personalization lets you deck out your hero just the way you like as you delve into endless encounters with the dark empires, wrathful gods, and untouched wilds of Eterra.

Now fully released after extensive improvements through Early Access, Last Epoch gives players quality-of-life improvements carefully implemented by a team of passionate ARPG enthusiasts. As mechanically-sound as Last Epoch is, it also delivers a rich visual experience with brilliant magic effects and a host of environments to explore.

That stunning world looks fantastic on Intel Arc graphics, with the Arc A750 ready to be a dependable ally. Loot and scoot with no delays, as Last Epoch runs at an average of 127 frames per second at 1080p Ultra settings using this week’s Game On driver. If you crave high resolutions, you’ll get 95 FPS at 1440p High settings for smooth hacking-and-slashing.

Last Epoch’s full release is available now on Steam.

Sea of Thieves Season 11

The next content update for the pirate sandbox Sea of Thieves is here. In addition to new Voyages, a redesigned Quest system, major Trading Company expansions, and shiny new loot items, a major new graphics option has been added. DirectX 12 is a modern graphics API, but most importantly, it makes Sea of Thieves run even better on Intel Arc graphics.

In DirectX 12 mode on the Intel Arc A750, Sea of Thieves now runs at an average of 101 FPS at the highest Mythical quality at 1080p. Hoisting the resolution high to 1440p at the same Mythical quality provides a seaworthy experience at an average of 84 FPS.

Driver updates to released games on Intel Core Ultra with built-in Arc graphics

Thought our driver improvements to older games was only for discrete graphics? Think again! New Intel Core Ultra-powered laptops get a big boost in 16 games, some of which we sped up recently on discrete graphics like Just Cause 4 and SnowRunner. Some of my long-standing favorites like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Divinity: Original Sin 2 get upgraded on Intel Core Ultra too. Check out the chart below for the improvements. Most games here now run above an average of 60 FPS at 1080p Medium for exhilarating gaming on-the-go.
