The best-looking game of 2025 doesn't even have Ray Tracing. Nothing short of incredible work from Kojima Productions!

Maybe Game Graphics have really peaked in 2015 This is a modded version of Battlefront, no need for any fancy tech like Ray Tracing or Path Tracing to look photorealistic. Video Credit: jackfrags

Let's settle this argument; Is Ray Tracing worth it and do you notice a tangible difference between these two clips?

Proof that you don't need Ray Tracing and Path Tracing to make a Game look beautiful. Kingdom Come Deliverance II has none of these techniques being used, it only uses a global illumination technique called voxel cone tracing As a result KCD2 runs and looks amazing on PC.

PlayStation just released a new video of Mark Cerny and Jack Huynh talking about PS6 (Project Amethyst) which is going to come out in "a few years" - Neural Arrays which will allow for more efficient and better upscaling (PSSR), Ray Regeneration and new ML features. - PS6 will support Path Tracing - Better Ray Tracing and Path Tracing Performance via Radiance Cores - Universal Compression which drastically reduces memory bandwidth usage allowing for higher fidelity games

This is what Rockstar Games should have done with GTA V Enhanced NaturalVision Enhanced at Ultra Ray Tracing is on another level.

Crimson Desert can suffer from a lot of ghosting and glitching issues with its native Ray Tracing in some indoor areas like this one. Turning on Ray Regeneration (AMD) or Ray Reconstruction (Nvidia) fixes these problems, however it does come at a performance cost.

Borderlands 4 doesn't even have Ray Traced Reflections, yet demands the highest end hardware to run properly. At first I thought recent GPUs struggle with this game due to Ray Tracing but its clear that they didn't use RT.

Death Stranding 2 is a prime example of why you don't need Ray Tracing for a visually stunning game. It looks objectively better and sharper than most Ray Traced games and doesn't suffer from any noise or ghosting issues at all.

Lost Soul Aside is built on Unreal Engine 4 The stutters are insane even with Ray Tracing turned off. Its honestly unreal how none of the recent UE Games manage to keep a stable framerate on PC.
