NVIDIA announced on September 1 that DLSS 5, its AI-driven rendering technology, will launch on September 3 Pacific Time and debut in the PC version of NBA 2K27, which goes on sale September 4 Japan time. The technology, first detailed at GTC in March and expanded at gamescom 2026, introduces 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, which uses AI to add photorealistic lighting and material detail to frames rendered by the game engine. It is available on GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs and GeForce NOW. The release follows a controversy in March when a demo video showed original graphics being transformed, and an early access version of NBA 2K27 on August 26 contained files for the technology, leading users to apply it to games like Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V. NVIDIA states that in officially supported titles, artists control the scope and intensity of the effect, and that whether to make images more realistic is a creative decision. Visual Concepts Senior Producer Peter Kavic said the technology improves material and lighting quality while allowing control to match existing art direction.

Sports Interactive and SEGA announced Football Manager 27 on August 27, 2026, with a release window of November 2026. The specific release date and supported platforms will be revealed later. The new installment is positioned as a series comeback after the turbulent launch of the previous game, Football Manager 26.

Some players voiced dissatisfaction with the UI adopted in Football Manager 26, and Studio Director Miles Jacobson acknowledged the studio failed to meet expectations of users accustomed to the traditional interface, saying he wants to prioritize resolving this in the new game. The policy for Football Manager 27 is to further develop the current design while reviving ideas and in-game behaviors that were well received in past titles.

A Steam playtest is planned, with registration open now, and details on early access for the Steam version will be announced later.
