Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 DLSS 5 Leak Screenshots Look Stunning

A player has shared new screenshots of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 running with a leaked DLSS 5 build, showing 4x super resolution with minimal performance cost and no ghosting.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is already one of the best-looking games of the year, and a new batch of leaked DLSS 5 screenshots suggests it could look even sharper. X user AmInOZ33 recently posted a set of images showing the RPG running with an unofficial, leaked version of DLSS 5, and the results are genuinely impressive.

Before we go any further, a quick reality check: DLSS 5 does not officially support Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 yet. Everything you're about to read comes from a player forcing a leaked build to run with the game. Treat these results as a fun preview, not an official benchmark, and take them with a grain of salt.

According to AmInOZ33, the tool in question is Lecram's freshly released version 12.9 update. This build can apparently achieve 4x super resolution while keeping the performance hit very low. More importantly, the player reports no obvious visual artifacts like ghosting or haloing, which are usually the first things to go wrong when you push upscaling this hard.

The screenshots themselves focus on two fan-favorite characters: Maelle and Verso. AmInOZ33 shared renders of both, giving us a close look at how the new version handles their detailed designs. The player also said they're running more tests and have been steadily posting additional character shots from the game, so there may be more comparisons on the way.

It's worth repeating that this is all third-party tinkering. The 12.9 version comes from Lecram's tool, not an official game update, and the performance and image quality numbers are one player's personal test results. Your own mileage will vary depending on your hardware and settings, so don't expect a plug-and-play experience just yet.

Still, it's a tantalizing glimpse of what's coming. If DLSS 5 eventually lands officially in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players on supported GPUs could get cleaner image quality without sacrificing frames. For now, though, it's a leak-powered science experiment, and we'll be keeping an eye on whether the tech gets proper support down the line.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Would you risk running a leaked DLSS build just to see Maelle in 4x super resolution, or are you waiting for the official update? Let us know in the comments!
