You might have seen headlines all over the place saying that DLSS 5 is working in all sorts of video games and applications, but it's important to remember that while modding and workarounds have allowed for that, "official" DLSS 5 support is still only limited to one game: NBA 2K27. Now, Nvidia has announced that support is expanding, so folks with 40 or 50 Series graphics cards should take note.
DLSS 5 support is arriving this month for Hogwarts Legacy, War Thunder, and Where Winds Meet. Hogwarts Legacy will receive support on November 5 as HBO's Harry Potter series waits in the wings for its December 26 release date. War Thunder will see the feature added in "mid-November", and Where Winds Meet will get the upgrade on November 23 in the US and November 24 in other territories.
Most of the conversation surrounding DLSS 5 since its official launch, surprisingly, hasn't been about the AI image quality or yassification of characters under it. In fact, talk of the town seems to have been the fact that using DLSS 5 cripples frame rates in games, even on high-end Nvidia hardware. I found this while doing my own testing with DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27, but Nvidia has since updated the AI model to reportedly deliver 2x the speed.
Official DLSS 5 support will mean that the developers of these supported games will have had their say in the way it influences their art. Any game that's seen unofficial support will have just had the upscaler applied as a blanket over the artwork, but this next batch of games could go a long way to showing how versatile DLSS 5 can or can't be when developers have had a chance to steer it in (slightly) different directions.
