Leaked DLSS 5 from NBA 2K27 lets modders inject Nvidia AI into many games

GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed

An early DLSS 5 build was accidentally included in an NBA 2K27 build and extracted by modders, who released a RenoDX toolset to inject the neural rendering into numerous PC titles. Tests on Control, Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas show clearer facial and environmental detail alongside pronounced distortions and inconsistent enhancements. The leak proves DLSS 5 can substantially alter character appearance and older game geometry, creating fidelity and aesthetic concerns before any official release.

• An early DLSS 5 build was found inside an NBA 2K27 build and made usable by the RenoDX modding community.
• RenoDX’s toolset lets users run DLSS 5 in games including Control, Cyberpunk 2077, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
• In Control, DLSS 5 adds facial shadowing and skin detail to protagonist Jesse Faden but also changes her appearance and makes her stand out against unevenly enhanced environments.
• DLSS 5 changes geometry and visual identity in the PlayStation 2-era Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, demonstrating it can fundamentally alter older assets rather than merely enhancing existing geometry.
