This article is your ticket to discovering the gaming possibilities with Intel Iris Xe Graphics. Buckle up as we explore a handpicked selection of games that shine on integrated GPUs. Get ready to dive into gaming adventures that prove you don’t need a heavyweight graphics card for an awesome gaming journey!

Intel Iris Xe is a GPU architecture developed by Intel with high performance and multiple micro-architectures of low-consumption and high-performance games. Intel Iris Xe manages a center of high performance.

As an integrated hardware from three years ago, Intel Iris Xe was developed for regular gamers who do not look to run the most demanding games on the market –like Final Fantasy XVI or Hogarts Legacy. Still, this graphic card is capable of managing great games with outstanding visual sections and graphics, illuminations, rendering, and more, mainly from a few years ago.

Even though it was released in September 2020, this graphic card is still one of the best options among integrated GPUs and a good option for running games on your computer. However, if you want the latest releases on the market to run smoothly, you will need a better card.

In comparison to the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11, the Intel Iris Xe shows a global performance of 70,3% above its AMD counterpart. However, here’s a comparison between the Intel Iris Xe and the NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070, which is a way better GPU.

Intel Iris Xe graphics, when working together with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a powerful processor like the Intel Core i7-13700H, can handle a wide range of games.

Many models of laptops based on the 10th and 11th gen Intel CPU ship with Iris Xe-based graphics processors.

In general, Battle Royales and Simulation games like Civilization VI work greatly with the Intel Iris Xe. But we’ve preferred to mention some universally acclaimed titles. And remember that these games are available on  RoyalCDKeys  at unbeatable prices, so your budget is not an excuse for not acquiring them.

At the moment I write this article, GTA V is the second best-selling game in history with more than 150 million copies. It’s an impressive number, especially if we think of GTA 5 has been “only” 10 years in the market. There are multiple reasons behind its success since it's an incredible game set in a marvelous open world full of life, intrigues, charismatic characters, a great story, and more.

Despite being a game from three generations ago, GTA 5 has been continuously updated regarding graphics, resolution, and missions. Currently, there are versions for the latest generation and PC. I have to say that, in PC, GTA 5 is absolutely playable and replayable.

Intel Iris Xe, together with other components like the Intel Core i7 processor, will run GTA V smoothly with no frame drops or slowdowns in the action, which is crucial for having the best experience.

Like other games that look similar regarding the graphic sections, such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 5, or Apex Legends, GTA V is highly optimized in its two versions for consoles and PCs.

Regarding UX and gaming, I highly recommend GTA V since it is an action-adventure game that provides a lot of fun and hours and hours of surprising challenges. Since the first moment you take the controller or put your hand on the keyboard, GTA V feels like a movie taking place in an always-summering city. From there, what follows is a realm of bank robberies, violent scenes, and dark humor, to which you’ll return continuously.

Key Features:

• A vast open world that takes place in the city of Los Santos.

• Three main characters with unique traits, abilities, and plots.

• An excellent number of frames per second, which makes the action look realistic.

At first glance, Sleeping Dogs looks very similar to GTA V, and this is true from a certain point of view – like Obi-Wan would say – but SD brings multiple different features than the Rockstar title.

Similarities first – Sleeping Dog is also an action-adventure game that takes place in an open-world city with plenty of life, buildings, cars, bohemian businesses, and more. Sleeping Dogs is set in Hong Kong. As such, its gameplay is focused on martial arts and real-time battles. Exploration, parkour, and shooting are also relevant mechanics you need to learn and develop to discover secrets, improve your abilities, and move forward through the adventure.

Sleeping Dogs also offers a good plot with multiple edges and intricate stories that intertwine to create a huge web of intrigues and storylines. As such, you don’t have time to rest on your laurels. You will are all the time facing tense situations where your life is hanging on the wire.

Regarding the graphic section, it also looks similar to GTA V since both titles are contemporary. However, I would say that Sleeping Dogs stands out due to a brighter palette of colors and environments.

Sleeping Dogs runs incredibly well on modern graphic cards like the Intel Iris Xe. So you don’t have any to worry about. If you never tried it before, this is the opportunity to play it as never before.

Key Features:

• An eastern open-world city where the only option is to fight.

Racing games are very popular among gamers who prefer velocity and vertigo and want to experience a total sense of freedom. In these aspects, Forza Horizon 5 does not disappoint since it has been a success from the very beginning, selling over ten million copies in its first week. This is because it features outstanding mechanics and graphics, which is the right recipe for glory and racing experience.

Like other games featuring cars, like Rocket League or Need for Speed, Forza stands out due to its impressive overall performance on most platforms, which means its graphics are well-optimized. In this sense, the Intel Iris Xe should handle gaming without problems regarding Forza Horizon 5.

Forza Horizon 5 runs smoothly at low to medium settings with 30+ fps. This integrated GPU, regardless of the speed of Forza 5 gameplay, manages models without falls in fps or lag, which means you can enjoy races and the exploration of giant maps without interruptions and with the best visual possible.

Forza Horizon 5 pays special attention to the details of several environments and biomes. It is one of the strongest points of Horizon 5: the capacity to cross several terrains, very different between them, in a matter of minutes and in a very natural way. In this sense, the company has done a great job creating one of the best maps of the racing genre. No matter whether you use the Intel Iris Xe with an 11th-gen Core i5 processor or a Core i7, Forza Horizon 5 will look as impressive as usual.

Fallout is another of those franchises that have been with us for most of our lives. Fallout, the first, was released in September 1997, which is probably the best year for video games ever, with titles like Star Fox 64 and Final Fantasy VII launched. Since then, many Fallout titles have been released, with Fallout New Vegas being cataloged as the best Fallout of the last twenty years.

Despite having simpler graphics than other games released later, New Vegas stands out for a better comprehension of the open world by integrating multiple regions and zones that work really well together.

Fallout New Vegas belongs to two previous console generations. However, today it also boasts good graphics with well-achieved models, texture, and effects that are nice to the sight. 

Of course, at present, you do not need to adjust your graphics settings to play New Vegas properly. The graphics drivers of the Intel Iris Xe will do the work for you, providing you with the best visual experience that New Vegas can deliver. Keep in mind that this title has been out for over ten years!

Most RPG fans and Fallout regulars praise New Vegas' mechanics, leveling system, and excellent quests, either main or side. New Vegas feels smooth even in 2024. The graphic section stands out even more due to Intel graphics emphasizing the raytracing and light conditions.

New Vegas is one of those old AAA games that still look great, and you should play it if you have a decent laptop with an Intel Iris Xe GPU.

Key Features:

• One of the best open worlds that takes place in the Mojave desert.

• A creative RPG leveling system, including reputation and the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats system.

Resident Evil 3, the original, was the third release of the classic survival horror franchise. A few years ago, a remake version was launched, which brought back the journey of Jill Valentine on the Raccoon City’s streets.

I can say it straightforwardly: Resident Evil 3 is a classic of all time, and the remake version continues with this legacy by bringing us one of the best – and shortest – horror games of the story of video games.

Since Resident Evil 3 Remake is a “small” game just happening in the streets of Raccoon City, the Intel Iris Xe graphic card does not have a problem running it at the top of its possibilities. What’s more! The game looks very well on most platforms – I played it on PlayStation 4 and PC – the graphics and visuals look outstanding!

The Intel Iris Xe graphic card boosts the quality of its textures and visual effects, like lights, shadows, fires, and reflections. What’s more! Nemesis never looked better than in the PC version, which you can acquire on RoyalCDKeys.

If you’re a fan of horror and want to try a different and dizzy game, Resident Evil 3 Remake, with its puzzles, monsters, shooting action, and amazing and integrated graphics, is the game for you.

Key Features:

• A classic survival horror game with improved graphics and mechanics.

• The return of Jill Valentine and Nemesis, two of the classic characters of the series.

• Puzzles, secrets, scarce resources, and fear.

Who haven’t heard about Lara Croft, the hero of Tomb Raider, one of the most important action-adventure franchises of all time? Since the release of the first installment in October 1996, the Tomb Raider series has impressed most gamers due to its mechanics, plots, characters, environments, and graphics. Okay, maybe the first games weren’t so impressive regarding the visual section, but currently, the Survivor Trilogy – the latest three installments of the franchise – boasts amazing graphic settings and effects.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider was released five years ago. Still, it seems to be designed to function with the Intel Iris Xe graphic card by boosting its dedicated graphics.  In general, SotTR has interesting aesthetics with well-achieved maps and scenarios where light and dark balance is crucial. By updating your graphic drivers, you will be able to witness all the maps and action colorfully and at 60 FPS, which is what we all expect from games like these.

Playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a pleasant but dangerous experience and one that has a lot of love for detail since textures, light particles, materials, and models look very realistic.

Beyond this, Shadow of the Tomb Raider stands out due to its gameplay, multiple ways of interacting with the environment, impressive and well-interconnected maps, illumination, and charismatic characters. The battle system is also complete with several ways of attacking the enemy.

Key Features:

• Lara Croft, the classic hero, as you never seen her before.

• The culmination of the Survivor Trilogy of Tomb Raider.

• Many ways of interacting with the surroundings and advancing through the scenario.

PC gaming is the indisputable king of the visual experience in video games. Nowadays, you can play games on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, but they do not reach the level of a good PC despite their capabilities and power.

If you want to play the most demanding games currently in the market, you need a PC with powerful graphic drivers and, if possible, an Intel Iris Xe graphic card. With this GPU architecture, you can enjoy the most impressive simulation games, strategy games, indie games, esports titles, and much more!
