DLSS 5: Modders Push Leaked Neural Rendering Into 10+ More PC Games

Modders have integrated Nvidia’s leaked DLSS 5 Neural Rendering library into over a dozen PC games, including Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V, following its discovery in an early access build of NBA 2K27. The RenoDX Discord community reverse-engineered this feature and used tools like RenoDX and ReShade to apply the library to various games. Nvidia describes DLSS 5 as a significant architectural advancement in real-time neural rendering that enhances graphics with photorealistic lighting and materials. Modders have successfully applied the library to titles such as Control, Red Dead Redemption 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered. These modifications are unofficial and not sanctioned by Nvidia or the game publishers. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has defended the technology against criticism, emphasizing that it allows for artist oversight rather than being a generic AI filter. DLSS 5 is set to launch in fall 2026, with support confirmed from major industry players. All current comparisons and tests are based on the leaked build rather than official Nvidia code.

15 details from the new GTA 6 leaks, including a possible morality system and stamina meter

A pair of clips allegedly showcasing gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto 6 and images of the in-game map of Leonida, inspired by Florida, have surfaced online. Rockstar has not confirmed the legitimacy of these clips, which may be from an earlier version of the game. The gameplay appears ordinary, resembling scenes from a tester rather than promotional trailers. Players will encounter a new identification system used by law enforcement, categorizing them based on clothing, facial or hair color, and vehicle type. Altering appearance or vehicle could help evade capture. A stamina meter is visible during brawls, depleting with each punch and imposing movement penalties when empty. A blue stealth indicator arrow tracks police proximity, allowing for a stealthy gameplay approach. Players can enhance character traits, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2, with activities like sinking a basketball boosting the Focus attribute, likely tied to a slow-motion mechanic. The leaked map shows a car icon marked with a "J," indicating Lucia's location while navigating via boat or aircraft, and Jason's location elsewhere in Leonida. The map also hints at small racetracks throughout Leonida for racing and income generation. Jason's house is marked in the southern region of Leonida, specifically on one of the islands in the Keys. Speculation exists about an airport at the southernmost tip of the Keys potentially serving as a military base, possibly for stealing fighter jets.
