NVIDIA's controversial next-generation DLSS technology, which drew criticism from its first showcase for noticeably distorting the original artistic vision of games, is rolling out this month across several titles, including Hogwarts Legacy, War Thunder, and Where Winds Meet.

DLSS 5 is coming to Hogwarts Legacy on November 5, aiming to enhance lighting and material quality with DLSS 5's model controls to "boost environmental uplift while preserving character identity". NVIDIA released the official trailer, and interestingly, the upgrades look much more subtle than in footage circulating online after a leaked version of DLSS 5 was modded into various games. The effect is now so subtle that it's almost impossible to tell whether DLSS 5 is enabled without a side-by-side comparison, as many users have pointed out.

Currently, official DLSS 5 support is limited to NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and RTX Spark systems.

War Thunder, the popular free-to-play military combat game, is set to receive DLSS 5 support in mid-November, introducing improved highlights and shadows, along with better lighting and atmosphere across its air, ground, and naval combat environments.

Meanwhile, Where Winds Meet, another popular free-to-play title inspired by the Wuxia genre, will also receive DLSS 5 support on November 23, bringing visual enhancements to its immersive open world.
