Elden Ring hadn’t even been released when FromSoftware said the game would feature ray tracing at some point in the future, so we’ve been waiting for that option for a while. The developers took about a year to deliver on their promise, which is available starting today.
Update 1.09 is now available to download for Elden Ring on all platforms, but its most notable change is the option to enable ray tracing on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. It’s worth mentioning that the implementation probably doesn’t live up to your wildest hopes, as the patch notes make it clear that messing with ray tracing “may” affect framerate and performance. resolution, so we should probably wait for future updates to further tweak the game’s performance.
