NVIDIA announced today that some of the world's leading game developers are supporting the upcoming RTX Spark PC platform. Launching this fall, RTX Spark will include support for major AAA titles, featuring the work of publishers and developers like Electronic Arts, Embark, and Ubisoft. This list of major publishers pledging their support for the platform is growing, with KRAFTON, NetEase, Riot Games, SEGA, and Xbox already on board. Newly added titles include EA's EA SPORTS F1 25 and Apex Legends, Ubisoft's Anno 117: Pax Romana, and Embark Studios' ARC Raiders and THE FINALS, with many more to come.

Additionally, NVIDIA has collaborated with EA to ensure the EA Javelin Anticheat system supports the RTX Spark Windows-on-Arm platform, making online gaming possible. As readers may know, modern games with online features often include complex anticheat engines that are usually platform-specific, making them difficult to port without the developer's involvement. Many anticheat engines run exclusively on Windows for x86 CPUs, leaving out Linux-based gamers and Arm-based Windows gamers like those using the upcoming RTX Spark. By porting its Javelin Anticheat system to Windows-on-Arm, EA suggests that other developers may soon follow suit with their own anticheat systems.
