Nvidia Adds DLSS 5 to Three Games
Hogwarts Legacy, War Thunder and Where Winds Meet will receive DLSS 5 support in early to late November 2026.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Artificial Intelligence
Nvidia will bring DLSS 5 support to Hogwarts Legacy on November 5, 2026, with War Thunder following in mid-November and Where Winds Meet on November 23 in North America and November 24 globally. DLSS 5 was officially released on September 3, 2026, and is currently supported only on GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards and RTX Spark chipsets.
Why it matters
The additions expand the set of titles that can use Nvidia's latest upscaling and frame-generation technology, which Nvidia says has roughly doubled in performance since launch and increased tenfold since its March reveal at GTC. Nvidia also released the RTX Remix 1.6 update to make DLSS 5 easier to mod.
Nvidia reports DLSS 5 performance has doubled since launch day and increased tenfold since March, with a benchmark showing 300 FPS at 4K ray-traced on an RTX 5090 in Hogwarts Legacy using 6X Multi Frame Generation. Official support is limited to GeForce RTX 50 Series cards and RTX Spark chipsets, and RTX 40 Series compatibility remains unconfirmed.
The players
Nvidia
Nvidia is a American semiconductor company best known for its GeForce graphics cards and the DLSS upscaling and frame-generation technology that powers this rollout.
The details
Hogwarts Legacy will receive 3D-Guide Neural Rendering along with Nvidia's full suite of DLSS technologies and is also available on GeForce Now for Ultimate members. Two of the three titles were already on the original DLSS 5 games list, and gamers obtained DLSS 5 through a leak before its official release.
Timeline
September 3, 2026: Nvidia officially released DLSS 5.
November 5, 2026: Hogwarts Legacy receives DLSS 5 support.
Mid-November 2026: War Thunder receives DLSS 5 support.
November 23, 2026: Where Winds Meet receives DLSS 5 support in North America.
November 24, 2026: Where Winds Meet receives DLSS 5 support globally.
The Tech Race
DLSS 5 extends Nvidia's DLSS line, which has evolved through successive generations of AI-driven upscaling and frame generation since its initial release. The rollout to Hogwarts Legacy, War Thunder and Where Winds Meet widens the software ecosystem that Nvidia uses to keep its RTX GPUs ahead of rival graphics platforms.
Players with GeForce RTX 50 Series cards can use DLSS 5 in these three games to raise frame rates at high resolutions. Owners of RTX 40 Series cards will need to wait for Nvidia to confirm official support, which is expected later this fall.
The takeaway
Players who want DLSS 5 performance in these titles should check whether their graphics card is officially supported before the November release dates. Waiting for confirmed RTX 40 Series support may be the safer choice for older hardware.
What happens next
Hogwarts Legacy receives DLSS 5 support on November 5, 2026, followed by War Thunder in mid-November and Where Winds Meet on November 23-24, 2026.
