Developer FromSoftware released a brand new update for Elden Ring Items on Thursday which brings ray-traced graphics to last year’s game. The option can be obtained on the PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X versions of Elden Ring.
On PS5 and Xbox Series X, Elden Ring players will find the new option underneath the Game Options menu. On PC, the setting is under Graphics, then Ray Tracing Quality. The new option doesn’t offer real-time reflections or, as you can tell in the video below, dramatic graphical improvements in lots of situations. According to early reports from players using the brand-new ray tracing settings, support reaches ambient occlusion and shadows. In other words, don’t expect dazzling real-time reflections in your armor — but do expect popular performance, specifically frame rate, should you play with real-time ray tracing.
