Bethesda has responded to backlash over Nvidia's newly revealed DLSS 5 AI upscaling technology, assuring players that its implementation in Starfield will be totally optional and under artists' control. The technology, showcased with Starfield and Resident Evil Requiem, drew widespread criticism for its visual alterations. Bethesda stated it is an early look with further adjustments planned.
One week after Nvidia's DLSS 5 reveal sparked widespread developer criticism for using generative AI to alter game visuals and override artistic intent, indie figures are now urging a boycott. Dave Oshry, CEO of New Blood Interactive, called on gamers and developers to cripple Nvidia's sales and stock price, while Dusk developer David Szymanski decried its showcase in Resident Evil Requiem.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang addressed gamers' concerns over DLSS 5's generative AI features in a Lex Fridman podcast interview, admitting he dislikes 'AI slop' while emphasizing the technology's artist-guided nature that enhances frames without changing core game structures. Partnerships with major studios signal broad upcoming adoption.
