Ray Tracing

No i tried to activate ray tracing before creating world 1st time than created world & tried to activate ray tracing but both wouldn't allow ray tracing activation

Hi,

Ray tracing isn't about resolution. Ray tracing is about lights, shadows and reflections. There are three main types of RT that you'll see on Series X/S. These are:

• Ray traced global illumination.
• Ray traced reflections
• Ray traced shadows

It's unlikely you'll see all forms of RT in games as it is a very demanding graphics feature.

There hasn't been any videos of note released about the true ray tracing capabilities on Series X/S yet, but there are loads of videos about RT on gaming PCs if you're curious about what it will look like.

But regardless of what TV/Monitor you are using, if a game has Ray Tracing it will be available to you.

So why did microsoft advertise ray tracing to be coming to next gen, answer the question. WHEN IS RAY TRACING COMING ?

Hi,

Sorry to say but The Ascent on the Xbox Series of consoles doesn't support Ray Tracing or Ray Traced reflections. The developer, Neon Giant, stated in an interview with Windows Central Tech that:

"We do not support ray tracing on Xbox unfortunately, it’s a PC-only feature.".

That's not to say that the title will never support Ray Tracing. But it doesn't seem to be in the cards at this time. Hopefully you can enjoy the game regardless. It is a fun time with a beautiful world. Good luck!

So long as it doesn't effect performance beyond 4K/30FPS, I'm game.
