The update adds Nvidia’s Neural Rendering option to Hogwarts Legacy, with use limited to supported hardware or an eligible GeForce NOW Ultimate subscription. Coverage describes improved lighting and environmental detail, while noting that the visual changes and performance depend on implementation and hardware.

The DLSS 5 update arrived for Hogwarts Legacy on PC on November 5, adding a Neural Rendering option in the graphics settings.
Nvidia describes Neural Rendering as using AI to alter lighting and material detail, rather than only sharpening or upscaling an image.
The coverage describes richer lighting, shadows, and environmental detail; PCWorld says the promotional comparisons show subtler character changes than those in Nvidia’s earlier DLSS 5 showcase.
Avalanche Software worked with Nvidia on the implementation; PCWorld reports that developers can tune effects and use masking tools to limit changes to selected characters or objects.
Supported devices listed include RTX 50-series desktop and laptop GPUs, RTX Spark PCs, and GeForce NOW Ultimate. War Thunder and Where Winds Meet were named as later November additions.
