Roblox developer Hoofer has used Nvidia’s leaked DLSS 5 renderer to give the platform’s blocky avatars eerily realistic human faces.
Nvidia announced DLSS 5 in March, describing it as a neural rendering system capable of adding photorealistic lighting and materials to games. Unlike earlier versions that primarily improved resolution and performance, DLSS 5 can drastically alter how characters, clothing, hair, and environments appear.
The technology is not scheduled for its wider release until fall 2026, but unfinished DLSS 5 files were recently discovered inside the early access build of NBA 2K27. Modders quickly began forcing it into games including Skyrim, Control, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
That was followed by an anime fan using DLSS 5 to transform characters from Danganronpa, Higurashi When They Cry, and other games into unsettlingly realistic people.

On September 1, Roblox developer Hoofer decided to see what would happen when the same technology was applied to Roblox.
“I added DLSS 5 to Roblox… it’s……… ‘beautiful,’” Hoofer wrote, directing viewers toward even more examples shared in the replies.
The footage keeps the avatars’ familiar rectangular bodies and square heads, but DLSS 5 attempts to cover them with realistic skin, detailed eyes, facial shadows, and other human features.
