Ray tracing games you can play right now: Also deserving of a mention is the Resident Evil 4 remake, which launches this month with ray traced reflections.

One notable addition is Elden Ring, which finally got its long-awaited ray tracing update – though Atomic Heart, formerly a poster child for these shiny, glowy effects, is still awaiting its own. With that out of the way, read on for all the ray tracing and DLSS games we know of. Ray tracing isn’t so platform-specific, and can run even on Intel’s affordable Arc A750 graphics card, though we’d recommend at least an RTX 30 series or Radeon RX 6000 series GPU, to help absorb the performance hit that ray traced effects incur. Older versions of DLSS also have an Nvidia RTX GPU requirement, but anything dating back to the original RTX 20 series will suffice.

It’s pretty neat tech, though you’ll need an RTX 40 series GPU (like the RTX 4070 Ti) to enable it. I’m keeping a list of all the confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games here, including those that support (or will support) DLSS 3: a new and much more advanced version of Nvidia’s upscaler that can create its own AI-generated frames, giving another shot to FPS without additional strain on your graphics card. And, not only are both the technologies improving over time, but the list of games that support ray tracing or DLSS (if not both) is constantly growing. One can drastically upgrade how your games look, with overhauled lighting, shadows, and reflections, while the other combines FPS-boosting upscaling with sharp, AI-powered anti-aliasing, for faster performance at a negligible cost to visuals. Years on from their debut, ray tracing and DLSS are still two of the most impactful, useful, and downright interesting tools in the weathered garden shed of PC games hardware.
