Since Ray Tracing is one of the most pushed and talked about things for the next gen, which launch games for any of the consoles launching this november are confirmed to have Ray Tracing functionalities?

I'll make a list with your help:

PS5
  • DMCV Special Edition
  • Miles Morales + Spider-man remaster
  • Demon's Souls
  • Watchdogs Legion
  • Godfall
  • COD BlackOps Cold War
  • DIRT 5
  • *Ratchet and Clank A Rift Apart (Launch Window)
XBOX Series X|S
  • *DMCV Special Edition (not at launch)
  • Watchdogs Legion
  • Minecraft
  • The Medium
  • COD BlackOps Cold War
  • DIRT 5
  • *The Ascent (Launch Window)

I would hope that Minecraft gets ray tracing on PS5 too.. unless Microsoft made that feature exclusive for PC/Xbox only.

Ah, don't worry about it lol.

Tbh, this launch is looking kinda dry when it comes to RT. It's still kind of in its infancy and major compromises have to be made for the heavier effects but expect to see it more down the line. If this thread was for games coming in 2021 and beyond then there would be a bunch more games to name.

Until now medium has not put the raytracing tag back into the xbox game page after it was removed . So there is a chance that might not make launch .

God Miles Morales looked so good in the showcase.

Camera work, textures, animation, lighting etc just looked amazing to me. Was blown away. Can't wait for PS5.

Raytracing seems to no longer be listed for anything on Xbox site but from what I remember:

Assassin's Creed Valhalla (on Series X|S at least)

Second Extinction (Xbox)

I get the need to know what game use it or not but i mean.. it's going to be such a mess of different type/level of integration. Games with RT is a vague and blurry concept at that point.

Do you want include next gen launch patches for games like Gears, Forza Horizon 4, ... ? At least those two will have some form of RT.

I wonder when we will stop caring about RT. How many times are we supposed to be wowed by reflections that have a roughness cutoff that makes then look like the puddles are not part of the scenery.
For now it seems like it is just an add on. I wonder when the first game that cannot be without RT is released, like a game where the art is designed around RT. Can't wait for that game. Metro, even though it wasn't designed worth RT in mind, is the closest I feel we are to a game were RT makes a significant difference.

Why doesn't DMCV have ray-tracing on Xbox but on Playstation?

No one knows for sure. Capcom just informed this at their blog. Could be a weird Sony moneyhat, or another reason completely.

If that is true, that's outrageous, lol. Moneyhatting ray-tracing in a special edition where graphical enhancements are one of the main selling points.

I thought Watch_Dogs: Legion was a launch but I am not sure now after someone on Era was messing around the UbiStore and found a November 24th Date for the PS5/XSX/S versions.
