Basketball’s biggest moments do not just live in box scores. They become posters, highlights, debates, and the plays fans want to run back again and again.
With NBA 2K27, players can create poster-worthy moments of their own. And using DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, those moments get the lifelike lighting, materials, and detail to hit differently.
“What’s great is the level of control that it gives us. We can set the overall tone and style to match our existing art direction and then really get precise where it matters most, using a per pixel uplift control mask to fine tune detail on characters. Given that we want to respect their likeness with the utmost care.” - Peter Kavic, Senior Producer - Visual Concepts
