Recent reports indicate that developers at major game studios, including Capcom and Ubisoft, were caught off guard by the public unveiling of NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 technology. Insiders from these companies reportedly stated they learned about the latest iteration of the AI upscaling tech simultaneously with the general public, a highly unusual circumstance for long-standing industry partners.
“We found out at the same time as the public,” commented one developer, highlighting the unexpected nature of the announcement. Typically, game developers are given early access and comprehensive technical documentation for such significant advancements to allow ample time for integration and optimization within their upcoming titles.
This surprising public reveal suggests a potential shift in NVIDIA’s strategy or an exceptionally secretive development cycle for DLSS 5. The lack of prior communication could pose challenges for studios like Capcom and Ubisoft, as they will now need to quickly assess the new technology and its capabilities to determine how it can be incorporated into their development pipelines.
A screenshot, reportedly depicting DLSS 5 running on “Resident Evil Requiem,” has circulated, further fueling discussions about the technology’s readiness and its potential impact on future game performance and visual fidelity across the industry.
