New Hogwarts Legacy Trailer Shows Off Nvidia's DLSS 5 Enhanced Lighting and Materials

Nvidia says the AI upscaling update sharpens lighting, shadows and reflections, with support limited to GeForce RTX 50 Series hardware.

  • On Thursday, Nvidia updated Hogwarts Legacy to integrate DLSS 5 technology in collaboration with Warner Bros and Avalanche Software, aiming to "boost environmental uplift while preserving character identity."
  • Leaked early versions of the AI-driven tech sparked controversy when they warped character faces in Resident Evil Requiem, raising concerns that the technology would alter game artists' original vision.
  • Activating Guided Neural Rendering on GeForce RTX Series GPUs allows Hogwarts Legacy to run at up to 300 FPS at 4K, with Nvidia recommending NVIDIA Reflex and DLSS Ray Reconstruction for optimal performance.
  • Some users complain the implementation is "laughably subtle," with one joking that developers "completely nerfed it" to avoid earlier backlash, though Nvidia maintains the update improves lighting and materials.
  • The rollout expands as DLSS 5 arrives in War Thunder mid-November and Where Winds Meet on November 23, extending the AI-enhanced visual capabilities across multiple titles this month.
