While Unity doubled-down on bringing ray tracing to its engine in 2019, for those without top-of-the-line graphics cards DLSS support is probably a bigger deal. Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling uses AI trained on comparisons between low-resolution and ultra-high-resolution images to upscale on the fly, providing a performance boost at the same time. It's been increasing framerates on games like Control, Cyberpunk 2077, and Death Stranding—at least for people with the RTX 20 and 30 series cards that support DLSS—and it'll be coming to even more games now that Unity will natively support it from version 2021.2, as Unreal Engine 4 does.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer explains that the new ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X is Microsoft's best collaboration between gaming and Windows teams.
Yea, DLSS (or similar technologies) support should be at the bedrock of every game engine in existence. This is one of the most exciting technical innovations in the gaming space today. The ability to allow lower end hardware to punch well above its weight via machine leaning is remarkable.
My view on XSX and PS5 is that in addition to their advances in storage speed, ML techniques will allow these consoles to perform very well. Of course they are with AMD, and we have yet to see their answer to Nvidia's DLSS, but I believe it was confirmed that AMD has a supersampling feature that is currently latent in their upcoming chips, and what is in the consoles at the moment.
