DLSS 5 gets toned down for its Hogwarts Legacy debut next month

AnnouncementProductOct 13, 2026

Nvidia's DLSS 5 will debut in Hogwarts Legacy on November 5th, with facial changes toned down. An October update makes the neural rendering system twice as fast on RTX 50-series GPUs, shrinking its footprint by 24 percent to roughly 118 million parameters and reducing 4K VRAM usage by 20 percent. The updated model ships first in NBA 2K27 on October 16th and will be default in future DLSS 5 games. It also arrives in Where Winds Meet.
