DLSS 5 support found in Metro 2033 Redux
Players have discovered that the 2014 remastered version of Metro 2033 Redux, a first-person shooter set in the Moscow metro, now includes support for DLSS 5, according to reports. The game received a free update on October 22 called the Next-Gen Update. DLSS 5 identified by user on X*
Renan Maniero, an active user on X, identified the DLSS 5 file in the same version as that of NBA 2K27, the only other game compatible with DLSS 5 since September, as noted by VideoCardz. Other players confirmed that a DLSS-NR option appears in the graphics settings, which involves Neural Rendering, an AI rendering technique that retouches the image in real time, including faces and lighting. Update adds multiple graphical features*
In its update notes, 4A Games mentions support for DLSS, alongside AMD's FSR and its own technique, 4A TSR. The rest of the update includes 4K textures, global lighting calculated from the displayed image, unlocked frames per second, and spatial sound. However, the studio specifies that ray tracing has not been added. Performance impact and upcoming games*
According to TweakTown, DLSS 5 makes characters more detailed in Metro 2033 Redux, but it significantly reduces performance, similar to its effect in NBA 2K27. Nvidia has already announced the next two games: Hogwarts Legacy on November 5, and Where Winds Meet by the end of November. Both will use the new model presented on October 13, which Nvidia claims is twice as fast. No official confirmation from developers*
Neither 4A Games nor Nvidia have made any official announcements about the DLSS 5 integration in Metro 2033 Redux. The discovery was made by players and confirmed through community testing, highlighting the growing use of AI-based rendering technologies in modern gaming.
