Intel's XeSS, their own upscaling technology, has now established a new benchmark, getting support from over 200 titles, which shows interest in it.
Intel's XeSS Is Now Turning Out To Be a Viable Alternative to DLSS & FSR Evident Through The Ongoing Development
Team Blue's XeSS technology debuted when it was surrounded by well-established alternatives such as NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FSR. Intel's XeSS did face setbacks in terms of market adoption, but with consistent enablement efforts, the upscaling technology is now in a position to be seen as a viable alternative to the existing mainstream options. Credit to Intel's efforts, the XeSS technology has reached support in over two hundred titles (via @Haze2K1) ,with room for more growth.

The increased support for Intel's XeSS surely depicts the consumer interest in the technology, as well as the tendency of game developers toward providing support for Intel's XeSS in their respective projects. Despite having a relatively "minor" market share in the GPU space, the steady growth of Intel's XeSS clearly shows that many gamers out there prefer the technology over their native GPU options, which is indeed a positive step towards the future of Intel's GPU ambitions.
While we don't have specifics about what titles are exactly supporting Intel's XeSS, there are a total of 201 games on Steam, which includes compatibility with the upscaling technology. Interestingly, the upscaling tech has seen inclusion in most titles during this year, likely because of how good 2024 has been for the gaming industry in general, but it is still surprising to see the technology getting recognition despite Intel's "sluggish" GPU business.
Intel's upscaling tech will have a significant role to play moving forward in the future, given that with the release of Team Blue's next-gen GPU architectures, we expect a significant performance increase, ultimately increasing consumer adoption rates. This will give XeSS a chance to shine in the markets. Given that the ongoing development work continues to proceed with current momentum, it may have a chance to replace the dominance of options such as DLSS and FSR.
