FromSoftware's authors provided an update for Elder Ringwith new ray tracing support for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
In addition, the patch does not include technologies such as DLSS and FSR that can aid with performance.
Lance McDonald, a data miner, offered a comparison of two versions of the game (with and without trace support), noting that the effect is strongest on vegetation, but others did not notice a difference in the photographs at all.
