NVIDIA rolls DLSS 5 into NBA 2K27 on the 16th, Hogwarts Legacy on Nov 5

DLSS is NVIDIA’s AI-driven upscaling technology that has been added to over a thousand games across eight years. The updated DLSS 5 model doubles processing speed in certain workloads while aiming to lower hardware load and preserve realistic visuals. NBA 2K27 was already an early adopter of the technology last month; under the new DLSS 5 model the title sees frame rates increase by up to 1.4x in GeForce RTX 50-series hardware, on RTX Spark laptops, and through the GeForce Now cloud environment. NVIDIA said future supported releases will include the new model by default.

Hogwarts Legacy, which has sold more than 40 million copies, will receive DLSS 5 on November 5. The update will add DLSS neural rendering alongside upgrades to other DLSS features, and Avalanche Software will use the SDK directly to tune the implementation to the game’s art direction. Everstone Studio’s Yeonwoon is scheduled for a DLSS 5 feature update at the end of November; the patch will introduce DLSS multi-frame generation and super-resolution, with DLSS 3D guide neural rendering planned for a later release.

Alongside the game rollouts, NVIDIA shipped an app beta that includes new frame-generation performance modes for GeForce RTX 40-series and 50-series GPUs and RTX Spark laptops. The company also published DLSS 5 examples from several projects: a Fallout 4 RTX demo showing DLSS 5 in action for that RTX remaster project, plus a Mirror’s Edge RTX project from SoftSound illustrating additional uses of DLSS 5. Those examples are presented as implementation samples tied to the new model and the app beta.
