Elden Ring gets ray tracing, but its effectiveness is questionable: update 1.09 released

FromSoftware Studios has released update 1.09 for Elden Ring.

As well as some technical fixes, the patch adds support for raytracing to the game, which is available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.

Raytracing can be enabled in the game menu, but its effect is probably only noticeable to developers, as gamers claim they can't see the difference.

Also, Japanese game designers didn't add DLSS and FSR technologies to the game, so only the users with powerful computers will be able to use RTX.
