Graphics software Nvidia has announced that Diablo 4 will receive full Ray Tracing support with an update on March 26! Earlier this year, both Blizzard and Nvidia hinted at a March release for the Ray Tracing update while providing a pretty convincing reveal trailer.
Ray Tracing Coming to Diablo 4 This March
Since launch in June 2023, Diablo IV GeForce RTX gamers have been accelerating performance by 2.5X on average at 4K, thanks to the inclusion of DLSS 3. And with NVIDIA Reflex, system latency was reduced by up to 67%, for the most responsive gameplay possible.
Coming March 26th, Diablo IV content will look even better thanks to the addition of 2 ray-traced effects. Armor, water, windows, and other suitably reflective surfaces will now feature accurate, realistic ray-traced reflections and ray-traced transparent reflections, making battles in Sanctuary even more spectacular. The many shadows of Diablo IV will be enhanced with ray tracing, adding extra detail to all scenes.
Global Community Development Director also stated that Blizzard will provide a blog post about the graphical changes coming to Diablo 4 before the update:
