NVIDIA DLSS 5: An AI-Powered Breakthrough In Visual Fidelity, Launching This Fall

DLSS 5, launching this Fall, introduces a real-time neural rendering model that infuses pixels with photoreal lighting and materials. Bridging the divide between rendering and reality, DLSS 5 empowers game developers to deliver a new level of photoreal computer graphics previously only achieved in Hollywood visual effects.

“Twenty-five years after NVIDIA invented the programmable shader, we are reinventing computer graphics once again,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “DLSS 5 is the GPT moment for graphics — blending hand-crafted rendering with generative AI to deliver a dramatic leap in visual realism while preserving the control artists need for creative expression.”

DLSS 5 will be supported by the industry’s biggest publishers and game developers, including Bethesda, CAPCOM, Hotta Studio, NetEase, NCSOFT, S-GAME, Tencent, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. Games.

"NVIDIA and Bethesda have a long history of pushing gaming graphics and innovation forward, and DLSS 5 represents the next major step in that journey," said Todd Howard, studio head and executive producer at Bethesda Game Studios. "With DLSS 5 the artistic style and detail shine through without being held back by the traditional limits of real-time rendering. We’re excited to work with this new technology and look to bring DLSS 5 to Starfield and future Bethesda titles."

“At CAPCOM, we strive to create experiences that feel cinematic, compelling and deeply believable — where every shadow, texture and ray of light is crafted with intention to enhance atmosphere and emotional impact,” said Jun Takeuchi, executive producer and executive corporate officer at CAPCOM. “DLSS 5 represents another important step in pushing visual fidelity forward, helping players become even more immersed in the world of Resident Evil.”

"Immersion is about making the world feel real. DLSS 5 is a real step towards that goal,” said Charlie Guillemot, co-CEO of Vantage Studios. “The way it renders lighting, materials and characters changes what we can promise to players. On Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it's letting us build the kind of worlds we've always wanted to."

DLSS 5 will come to games including AION 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Black State, CINDER CITY, Delta Force, Hogwarts Legacy, Justice, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, NTE: Neverness to Everness, Phantom Blade Zero, Resident Evil™ Requiem, Sea of Remnants, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Where Winds Meet, and more.

The first DLSS 5 preview is being shown this week at GTC, and over in our DLSS 5 announcement article you can check out several examples of NVIDIA DLSS 5 in Resident Evil™ Requiem, EA SPORTS FC™, Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy, and the NVIDIA Zorah tech demo.

Crimson Desert Launches March 19th, Featuring DLSS 4 With Multi Frame Generation

Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert is a highly anticipated open-world action-adventure game. Through a world of exploration and intense action, Crimson Desert depicts the journey of the Greymanes in the beautiful yet brutal continent of Pywel. You will play as Kliff, a Greymane who is determined to reunite with his surviving comrades and rebuild what was lost after a devastating ambush leaves them dead or scattered across the lands. On a journey where alliances are forged, dangers abound, and mysterious factions are uncovered, Kliff comes to realize that an unprecedented threat and a destiny greater than he imagined await him.

Visit bustling towns and quiet hamlets, venture across vast plains, deserts, and mountains, and explore forgotten ruins, shrines, and other unique landmarks of the continent’s distinct regions. Gather resources, craft, hunt, and partake in the various activities of Pywel to also aid in your journey. The world is yours to explore as you will and there are many paths for you to uncover; ride mounts from horses to even a dragon and mechs, scale cliffsides and walls which you can leap from to glide, and go through mystical gates to find yourself in the mysterious realm known as the Abyss.

When Crimson Desert launches on March 19th, it will include support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and its visuals will be further improved by ray-traced effects, which can be enhanced by DLSS Ray Reconstruction.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Available Now, Featuring DLSS 4 With Multi Frame Generation

In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster, turning soil to sludge and the living to undead monsters. Leon Dorsey, the genius behind the experiment, had a plan to make things right: hire a team of highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. That’s why he hired the Toxic Commandos.

Tag team as a squad of up to four players, featuring full crossplay support. Send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld as you drive across semi-open maps and tear through the wasteland. Find how your squad clicks, shooting swarms of enemies together and smashing them under the wheels of your favorite ride for that pure rush of satisfaction. Unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and even freaking katanas. When mutated monstrosities swarm from every angle, teamwork isn't optional—it's survival.

In John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, which launched March 12th, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have integrated DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, and NVIDIA DLAA. And via the NVIDIA app’s DLSS overrides, DLSS Super Resolution can be upgraded to DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, for those seeking the highest levels of image quality.
