NVIDIA Freezes Windows 10 GeForce Drivers in October: RTX 40-Series Misses DLSS 5 Support

On October 14, 2026, NVIDIA will release the final GeForce Game Ready Driver for Windows 10, coinciding with the operating system's mainstream end of support. Starting in November 2026, all new Game Ready and Studio Driver releases will only support Windows 11. Approximately 23.56% of Steam gamers were still using Windows 10 as of June 2026. The last Game Ready driver for Windows 10 is version 617.42, released on October 6, 2026. NVIDIA will provide quarterly security updates for Windows 10 GeForce drivers until October 2029, but no new game support or enhancements will be available. Users with RTX 20, 30, 40, and 50 series cards will be affected by this transition, while older models like the GTX 900 and GTX 10 series have already reached their support limits. Windows 10 users will miss out on DLSS 5, which is exclusive to RTX 50-series hardware. Microsoft has extended the free consumer Extended Security Update (ESU) program for Windows 10 to October 12, 2027.

Devices operating on the Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro editions have reached their end of support as of October 13, 2026, meaning they will no longer receive monthly security updates or non-security preview updates.

GTA VI PC Release Reportedly Planned for Early 2027

Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto VI is reportedly aiming for a release on PC in Q1 2027, according to a report from GamesBeat citing four industry sources. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19. Historically, the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V was released 19 months after its console debut, while GTA VI could see a gap of only two to four months if the reported timeline holds true. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has indicated that the PC market is important for the publisher, but Rockstar has only officially announced GTA VI for consoles at this time. The report serves as a significant indication of a possible release window for the PC version, but it is not an official confirmation.

Technical difficulties will prevent Grand Theft Auto VI from running on PC using emulators.

The gaming community is discussing the potential emulation of Grand Theft Auto VI on PCs, with its release scheduled for November 19th. Users are considering emulators like KytyPS5, SharpEmu, and RPCSX, but experts warn against downloading unreliable software such as PCSX5. The main challenge for emulation is the console's multi-layered security system, requiring developers to find vulnerabilities in the console's kernel and hypervisor. Current emulators can only handle basic games, and significant code optimization may take months to years. Legal challenges from Rockstar Games and Sony complicate efforts to distribute unauthorized game dumps. A stable PC port is seen as a distant goal, with the best experience expected on official consoles at launch.
