NBA 2K27 Tips-Off, Debuting DLSS 5 With 3D-Guided Neural Rendering
NVIDIA has continuously redefined the boundaries of PC gaming. From introducing real-time ray tracing to pioneering AI-powered graphics with DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction, our RTX technologies have transformed how games are rendered and experienced.
We’ve now released DLSS 5, which introduces 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, a major step forward in using AI to bring real-time graphics closer than ever to Hollywood-grade photorealism.
Watch how DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering and its artistic controls work from Edward Liu, NVIDIA’s Director of Applied Deep Learning Research, and Gabriele Leone, Director of Content Technology
DLSS 5 is available now in NBA 2K27, from developer Visual Concepts and publisher 2K, for all GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and laptops, and GeForce NOW. It marks the debut of how the technology can be used by game artists to elevate visual fidelity in alignment with their creative vision.
“What’s great is the level of control that it gives us. We can set the overall tone and style to match our existing art direction and then really get precise where it matters most, using a per pixel uplift control mask to fine tune detail on characters. Given that we want to respect their likeness with the utmost care.” - Peter Kavic, Senior Producer - Visual Concepts
2x NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Tyrese Haliburton recently joined NVIDIA GeForce Evangelist Jacob Freeman to get a first look at DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27. Check out what he had to say about his lifelike game appearance in the clip below:

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Available Now With DLSS
Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company’s Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 drops up to four players into the boots of Colonial Marines deployed to the most hostile corners of the Aliens universe.

Crimson Moon Launches Today With DLSS
ProbablyMonsters’ Crimson Moon is a single-player and co-op gothic high renaissance action-adventure RPG built around intense, replayable missions.

Players who are strong and skilled enough to fight through three districts of Gildenarch in a row will face a world boss. These epic, monstrous foes will test players’ mastery of their divine abilities, and players can only face the hellish final boss once they’ve defeated all three world bosses.
Crimson Moon launches later today, with DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, Multi Frame Generation, and NVIDIA Reflex.

The Blood of Dawnwalker Launches September 3rd With DLSS
Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco Entertainment’s The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world dark fantasy action RPG set in 14th-century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. Vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows and claim what they've been denied for centuries: freedom, and the power that comes with it. Other creatures of the night follow their lead. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.
You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Fight for your humanity or embrace the cursed powers to save your family. Whatever your choice, the question stands: is your soul worth the lives of those you love?
The Blood of Dawnwalker launches this Thursday with support for DLSS Super Resolution, which can be upgraded to DLSS 4.5 via the NVIDIA app, enabling all GeForce RTX gamers to enhance image quality and accelerate frame rates.
LIKE OR DIE Announced: Watch The DLSS 4.5 Trailer For The New FPS Launching In 2027
NC has announced LIKE OR DIE, a new team-based survival FPS. Players take control of fictional streamers, battling in massive arenas, with their fights for survival broadcast live on the “Quaya Stream” pan-universal streaming platform, where actions, victories and deaths affect the number of Likes you receive.
Ultimately, your team needs to destroy enemy Nexus respawn points, while defending your own, otherwise your next death will be your last, and your team will be knocked out of the competition, which won’t do your Like count any favors. Helping you gain the edge on enemies is the Block Gun - create cover, build bridges across gaps, gain access to advantageous elevated positions, and outfox your opponents during battle. But each block can also be destroyed, so if you time it right, you can send a foe plummeting by destroying their ad hoc bridge, or tear down their cover, enabling you to safely snipe them at range.
Take a first look at LIKE OR DIE in its debut trailer, and our exclusive DLSS 4.5 gameplay video:
