Elden Ring Gets Ray Tracing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC
Elden Ring now has a ray tracing graphics option for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC versions of the game, courtesy of patch v1.09.
The update was pushed out earlier today, March 23, to all versions of the game, though the new ray tracing feature won't be available on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
Ray tracing can be toggled on and off via the game options menu on console and via the graphics menu on PC. Bandai Namco also cautioned in a post on its website that both frame rate and resolution “may be impacted while playing with ray tracing on”.
