FromSoftwarethrough the account official twitter Of Elder Ringannounced that today April 23 will be available the patch 1.09. The new patch adds support for the long-awaited ray tracing that improves graphics using the ray-traced ambient occlusion and ray-traced shadows. Unfortunately, there is no support for ray tracing reflections and Nvidia’s DLSS which would improve performance. In conjunction with Elden Ring’s GOTY win at the Game Developer Choice Awards, a very important feature has been added. The weight of the update on PS5 is 5GB, due to the addition of precompiled shaders, while on PC the Elden Ring update is only 200MB.
New Features
Ray Tracing support has been added for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC versions.
Ray tracing can be activated in the settings menu:
PS5/XSX: Game Options > Ray Tracing
PC: Graphics > Ray Traced Quality
Note that performance, such as frame rate and resolution, may be affected when playing with ray tracing enabled. The minimum and recommended technical specifications for using Ray Tracing can be found at the end of the patch notes.
