Modders get an experimental version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering library running in over a dozen games after it leaked in NBA 2K27's early access build (VideoCardz.com)

DLSS 5 mod spreads to Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, TLOU2, Wukong and more — It took modders only hours to get the leaked NVIDIA DLSS …

Modders have successfully run an experimental version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering library in over a dozen games. The library was leaked in an early access build of NBA 2K27 and quickly spread to other games, including Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, TLOU2, Wukong, Skyrim, GTA V, and Control.

The modders, from the RenoDX channel on Discord, extracted the DLSS Neural Rendering file from NBA 2K27 and applied it to various games. According to The Verge, this allowed them to tweak settings and see changes in character facial features, such as those of Control's protagonist Jesse Faden.

The unofficial DLSS 5 implementation is not without issues, with Rock Paper Shotgun reporting a severe impact on performance even with a high-end RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. The modders have reportedly made the neural rendering work only for character models, with HDR not functioning. One modder, speedlemur, described it as "essentially unusable" in its current state.
