Tech Expert Dives Deep Into Recent PS5 Showcase And Which Games Featured Ray Tracing

The recent PlayStation 5 showcase featured a lot of exciting content, but which games featured the highly-talked about ray tracing technology? Tech expert Alexander Battaglia from Digital Foundry broke down the latest PS5 showcase in a brand new video, talking about the different types of ray tracing and how this works. 

Ray tracing has been a term thrown around quite a bit after Sony confirmed that this would be a major focal point in how we see games with the next generation looming ahead. This technology takes us even closer to pure realism in terms of games and how we interact and perceive these digitized environments. That being said, many are still a little confused about what exactly this means for next-gen and which titles showcased so far will use this particular brand of tech. That’s where Battaglia comes in.

This was largely due to the ray tracing feature, something talked about in the full video below:
