Ray tracing is starting to appear in a number of titles on PC, and is being shown off as part of next-gen console sizzle reels to entice players to upgrade. Even well-established games like Fortnite will soon add ray tracing to enhance the graphical experience. The dynamic lighting that ray tracing offers is an advancement that subtly adds realism to the way a game world is lit.

Now Crysis Remastered is bringing ray tracing to current generation consoles, or at least the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. Pushing these consoles to their limit, the game uses some clever optimizations of the hardware to produce the effect. Limiting the ray tracing effect to a close radius to the player being just one way to save power, while also rendering the reflections ray tracing produces at a lower resolution.
If players choose not to go for the full ray-tracing experience, Crysis Remastered offers three graphic modes to choose from, so players can go with the setting they like best.
While the game has fully embraced its meme status with regard to graphical capability, Crysis Remastered continues to make the most out of hardware.
Crysis Remastered is available now on Nintendo Switch, and PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions will launch on September 18th.
