Fans Inject Leaked DLSS 5 Into PS5 Steam Ports as Nvidia Defends AI Filter

Summary
Leaked DLSS 5 files pulled from NBA 2K27’s PC version were quickly injected by fans into major PS5 games through their Steam ports, spreading the disputed filter far beyond Nvidia’s own rollout.
The backlash centers on DLSS 5’s apparent use of generative AI to reshape character models and scene lighting, with examples from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth circulating online.
Earlier criticism flared around Resident Evil Requiem’s Grace Ashcroft, whose altered look led players to accuse the technology of “yassifying” characters and overriding original art direction.
Nvidia is still rejecting that criticism: CEO Jensen Huang says DLSS 5 preserves artistic control and describes it not as generative AI but as “content-control generative AI” under neural rendering.
