- NVIDIA announced DLSS 5, a neural rendering technology, and faced criticism that it may alter a game's artistic vision and tone.
- NVIDIA maintains that developers remain in full control and that game studios helped create promotional in‑game imagery for DLSS 5.
- Ubisoft developers said they learned about DLSS 5 at the same time as the public, according to Insider Gaming, contradicting NVIDIA's claim of prior involvement.
- Capcom developers echoed the surprise, noting that the studio, usually protective of its IPs regarding AI, was involved in DLSS 5 marketing.
- Capcom developers voiced concern that DLSS 5 could change how the studio approaches generative AI and its role in game development.
Why it matters: Developers' surprise undercuts NVIDIA's narrative of full studio control, highlighting a disconnect between the company's marketing and the actual involvement of game teams. This may affect how studios evaluate and adopt generative AI tools like DLSS 5, and could influence future collaborations.
