Elden Ring patch 1.09 adds ray tracing for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X

Developer FromSoftware releases a new update Elden Ring on Thursday that brings ray-traced graphics to last year’s game. It is possible to access this option on Xbox Series X, Windows PCs and PlayStation 5. Elden Ring.

For PS5 or Xbox Series X Elden RingPlayers will find the option in the Game Options menu. You can find the new setting under Graphics. The new option doesn’t offer real-time reflections or, as you can see in the video below, dramatic graphical improvements in many situations. Early reports indicate that the support for ambient shadows and occlusion is possible with new ray-tracing settings. In other words, don’t expect dazzling real-time reflections on your armor — but do expect a hit to performance, specifically frame rate, if you play with real-time ray tracing.
