DLSS has come a long way since its debut nearly eight years ago, receiving major upgrades over time. During CES 2026, Nvidia introduced DLSS 4.5 with 6X Multi Frame Generation, which is set to roll out later this month. However, not long after that announcement, Nvidia unveiled DLSS 5 at GTC 2026, bringing another big step forward for its upscaling technology.
At the event, Nvidia showcased the next generation of DLSS, which focuses heavily on machine learning to deliver more realistic lighting and materials using current-gen (RTX 50 series) hardware. The company demonstrated DLSS 5 across several titles, including Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy, and the newly released Resident Evil Requiem.
The demo footage highlights the improvements quite clearly. In games like Resident Evil Requiem, Hogwarts Legacy, and Starfield, DLSS 5 enhances detail, realism, and overall image quality. Meanwhile, in titles such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Oblivion Remastered, the technology adds more lifelike lighting and visual depth.

Nvidia says the AI model has been trained to understand complex scene elements like hair, skin, and fabric, along with different lighting conditions, all while running in real time at resolutions up to 4K.
List of DLSS 5-supported games so far
It is, however, important to keep in mind that not every game will support DLSS 5 immediately. Instead, Nvidia has shared only a small list of compatible games so far, but this will grow as time passes. That said, here’s a complete list of games that have been confirmed to support DLSS 5 so far:
- AION 2
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- Black State
- Cinder City
- Delta Force
- EA Sports FC
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Justice
- NARAKA: BLADEPOINT
- NITE: Neverness to Everness
- Phantom Blade Zero
- Resident Evil Requiem
- Sea of Remnants
- Starfield
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
- Where Winds Meet
As you can see, 16 games are confirmed to support DLSS 5 so far when it arrives this Fall. In the next few months, we’re expecting this list to grow significantly; companies already partnering with Nvidia include Bethesda, CAPCOM, Hotta Studio, NetEase, NCSOFT, S-GAME, Tencent, Ubisoft, and Warner Bros. Games. It should also be reiterated that the new neural rendering model is exclusive to RTX 50 series GPUs.
