Diablo 4 gets ray-tracing and other titles are getting Nvidia DLSS upgrades

Diablo 4's anticipated ray-tracing update arrives this week, bringing ray-traced shadows and reflections to the land of Sanctuary. This isn't the only game getting RTX feature support this week though, with DLSS also heading to several other major games. 

Diablo 4's ray-tracing update drops this week, adding to previously available features like DLSS 2 or DLSS 3 with Frame Generation and Nvidia Reflex. Alone in the Dark, a new reboot of the classic horror franchise, is also available this week with DLSS 2, allowing RTX graphics card users to save some performance without sacrificing much in the way of visual fidelity.

Here are the full bullet points from Nvidia, including performance details for new releases like Horizon Forbidden West and Outpost: Infinity Siege:

• Diablo IV – new update is available now which adds ray-traced effects to Sanctuary. The game is already accelerated with DLSS 3 Frame Generation and Reflex. The update adds ray traced reflection and shadows. With a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU, you can multiply performance by up to 3X thanks to DLSS 3.
• Outpost: Infinity Siege – launches today with DLSS 3 Frame Generation , DLSS Super Resolution and Reflex. At 4K, with every setting maxed out, DLSS 3 will multiply performance by an average of 3.3X in Outpost: Infinity Siege.

KitGuru Says: Are you picking up any of this week's big releases? I've been diving into Horizon Forbidden West myself and so far, I've been very impressed with how it looks and runs on PC, even without any dedicated ray-tracing effects.
