On top of that, the Digital Premium Edition will allow early access to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on December 6, three days before the official release date of December 9.

Circling back to the new GeForce Game Ready driver, it also adds support for one-click optimization of the following games: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Delta Force, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and Red Dead Redemption.
