All PS5 games support ray tracing

One of the standout features of the PlayStation 5 is its support for real-time ray tracing. The console supports ray tracing, but that doesn’t mean every game has it. Worse yet, Sony isn’t providing any indication as to whether a game supports the feature. That’s why we’ve done some research to find every PS5 game that supports ray tracing.

Pioneered by Nvidia’s RTX graphics card, real-time ray tracing is a lighting technique that produces more realistic shadows and reflections. Instead of using light or shadow maps, reflection and shadow are created from individual photons bouncing (or not bouncing) from surfaces. Each ray of light is tracked from its source to its destination, adding a sense of depth and realism to the scenes.

The problem is that the highly demanding beam-tracking feature even pushes the powerful PS5 to its limits. The developers are still optimizing ray tracing for the PS5, so we expect more dramatic implementations as the console matures. All of the games below support ball or ray reflection (or both), but some use this feature better than others.
