I Hate to Say It, but Nvidia’s Doing a Huge Thing for Gaming on Future PCs

The upcoming RTX Spark PCs—the first consumer laptops with all Nvidia chips in more than a decade—are increasingly trying to prove they’re gaming PCs, rather than just a new vehicle built to push AI in your face. At Gamescom this week, Nvidia shared that it had pulled even more major publishers into supporting the company’s ostensibly powerful PCs. That includes Ubisoft, the developer behind franchises like Assassin’s Creed. Nvidia promised games like Anno 117: Pax Romana would be compatible natively on RTX Spark laptops alongside future titles. Back in July, Nvidia said it had nailed down legacy Japanese publisher Sega, which promised to port some current and future titles to ARM for the sake of RTX Spark. If there’s one thing that held back the Windows on ARM revolution, it was software support. That seems to be changing. Nvidia says there are other, smaller studios joining in on the fun, like Embark, which is promising compatibility with Arc Raiders and The Finals. EA is also supposed to provide Javelin Anticheat support to ARM, which means you’ll be able to play Apex Legends on RTX Spark. These join games from other studios like IO Interactive (Hitman World of Assasination, 007
