Ray-tracing is a visual effect that drastically improves lighting and reflections. It's a feature that's been long-requested in Elden Ring, although after the technical issues at launch (especially on PC) some may be wary of how ray-tracing could impact performance.

Its inclusion was also leaked by dataminers. Back in October, dataminer sennoutantei noticed menu strings relating to ray-tracing features (as shared by Lance McDonland), suggesting visual improvements were on the way.

This new patch also includes PvP-exclusive balance adjustments, mainly decreasing the effectiveness of certain skills and spells. This is due to the recently added Colosseum PvP DLC.

There are also further adjustments to balance, Ashes of War, and bug fixes. That's right: over a year after release, FromSoftware are still fixing bugs.

For PC players, below are the minimum and recommended tech specs for ray-tracing.
