This list does not appear to meet the criteria at WP:SAL and WP:NOTDIR. The length and seemingly narrow scope is deceptive because this list is extremely out of date (and largely unreferenced). PhysX is a standard library within Nvidia GameWorks and, as such, is used in practically every major video game of the past five years and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. This is not a defining feature of video games appropriate as a list topic. Axem Titanium ( talk) 18:17, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - the nom more or less says what I would say. There's WP:NOTDIR/ WP:DEFINING/ WP:INDISCRIMINATE issues with documents such a subject on Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 19:03, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Maybe when it was a new thing, game reviewers mentioned it in their game reviews as something notable, I don't know. Seems rather common now though so not a defining characteristic. Dream Focus 19:09, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. PhysX is ubiquitous, so the list's scope can easily get out of hand, and the entries will barely be sourcable. Consequently, almost none of the entries are currently sourced. IceWelder [ ✉] 19:13, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Per nom, little more to add. This is a not defining trait and rarely commented on by secondary sourcing, at least not past initial adoption days. Middlewares like this are so common we almost never mention them in prose and they are explicitly excluded from infobox video game. -- ferret ( talk) 21:05, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
