Intel releases new driver with support for Hell is Us and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Intel has released a new graphics driver under version 32.0.101.7028, non-WHQL. The update introduces optimizations and support for two games: Hell is Us, a third-person action-adventure game that is coming to PC and consoles on September 1, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the original game from 2004, but with all-new graphics and 3D audio (releases on PC and consoles on August 28, 2025).

Other than optimizations for the two games, driver 32.0.101.7028 non-WHQL does not bring anything new to the table. There are no additional bug fixes, and the list of known issues remains the same:

Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:

• Visual corruptions may appear in certain scenarios with multiple application interactions.
• PEAK (DX12) exhibits flickering texture corruptions during gameplay. We recommend that PEAK be launched with the Vulkan rendering API to avoid flickering textures during gameplay.
• Broken Arrow (DX11) may experience lower than expected performance after changing graphics settings.
• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching the Graphics API to DX11.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio may experience an intermittent application crash while running the benchmark.
• Recommendation is to change the timeout slider to 1500 seconds or higher, to wait for each test to complete, in PugetBench benchmark settings.

Intel Arc A-Series Graphics Products:

• Broken Arrow (DX11) may experience lower than expected performance after changing graphics settings.
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (DX12) may experience an application crash with Ray-Tracing and XeSS enabled.
• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching the Graphics API to DX11.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio may experience an intermittent application crash while running the benchmark.
• Recommendation is to change the timeout slider to 1500 seconds or higher, to wait for each test to complete, in PugetBench benchmark settings.

Intel Core Ultra Series 1 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching the Graphics API to DX11.

Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching the Graphics API to DX11.
• Adobe Premiere Pro may experience an application crash while using audio enhancement features.
• Topaz Video AI may experience visual artifacts when using certain AI models.
• PugetBench for Photoshop may experience an application crash while running the benchmark.
• PugetBench for Lightroom may experience an application crash while running the benchmark.

Intel 32.0.101.7028 non-WHQL supports 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 PCs with the following Intel processors and graphics cards:
