Maybe hyperbole, but I think obviously they can't do this for literally every game, that would require huge personnel resources. At least looking at mesa (linked elsewhere), only ~200 games are patched, out of what 100k PC games? So <1%.

Well, pretty much every large AAA game launch complimented by GPU driver upgrade that adds support for that game. It's in the patch notes.

Mesa is a lot more conservative about this than the proprietary drivers.
