Early DLSS 5 Leak Shows Nvidia Tool in Action

A modder has enabled an early, unofficial version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 inside multiple games after extracting files from an early-access build of NBA 2K27. The demonstration — run inside Remedy's game Control — shows a new 'Neural Uplift' option with presets and sliders that heavily alters character faces and, to a lesser extent, environment color, shadows and reflections. Nvidia announced DLSS 5 in March 2026 and has said developers can control how strongly it affects their games. The leaked build is an early preview; the final behaviour will likely be seen when Nvidia ships the feature this autumn.
