Nvidia has announced the arrival of ray tracing support for Diablo 4 on March 26. This significant update promises to elevate the visual experience of Diablo 4 by introducing two ray-traced effects: accurate reflections and enhanced shadows.
Diablo 4, released in 2023 by Blizzard Entertainment, continues the legacy of the acclaimed Diablo series as an action role-playing game. Players choose from five classes to embark on quests filled with combat in procedurally generated dungeons. Players engage in combat to gather better equipment, facing off against enemies grouped into distinct monster families, each with its own unique abilities and fighting styles. Diablo 4 preserves the loot-centric character development while introducing fresh elements like an expansive open world and competitive player versus player battles. Diablo 4 became Blizzard’s fastest-selling game ever made soon after its launch.
Diablo 4 GeForce RTX gamers have enjoyed accelerated performance and reduced system latency, thanks to features like DLSS 3 and NVIDIA Reflex. As announced by Nvidia on a blog post, with the upcoming addition of ray tracing support for Diablo 4 on March 26, players can expect improved visuals. The armor, water, windows, and other reflective surfaces will now boast realistic ray-traced reflections, enriching the depth and immersion of battles within the dark fantasy realm of Sanctuary in Diablo 4. Additionally, shadows will receive an extra level of detail with ray tracing, further enhancing the game's atmospheric visuals.
Ray tracing is a rendering technique used in computer graphics to simulate the way light interacts with objects in a virtual scene. Unlike traditional rendering methods, which use rasterization to approximate lighting effects, ray tracing traces the path of individual rays of light as they interact with surfaces, accurately simulating effects like reflections, refractions, and shadows. The implementation of Ray Tracing results in more realistic and visually stunning images in games, as it produces lifelike lighting and shadows, enhances the realism of materials, and creates more immersive environments by accurately depicting how light behaves in the real world.
Nvidia will be announcing several integrations of RTX tech at GDC 2024, including Full Ray Tracing and DLSS 3.5 in games like Black Myth: Wukong and Naraka: Bladepoint. Furthermore, Portal With RTX now features DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction and RTX IO, enhancing its technology, graphics, and image quality.
Nvidia also unveiled updates to Star War Outlaws, now integrating DLSS enhancements and ray-traced effects, promising players enhanced performance and visual fidelity. With March 26 approaching, fans of the Diablo series may eagerly

Back in 2020, the PS5 launched with a number of notable improvements over its predecessor both in terms of its hardware capabilities and the software features it offered right out the gate- but not all of them were big hits. Game Help, a feature that allows players to view clips of gameplay from game developers to help get past in-game roadblocks, hasn’t exactly taken off since the PS5 launched, though Sony is set to introduce some improvements to it soon.
New features for the PlayStation 5 system software are on the way, and while some are much needed improvements, it's hard not to feel like these particular additions should have been part of the console's user experience from the beginning. Sony's PS5 is approaching its fourth anniversary, and while the system software itself rightfully takes a back seat to the actual games available on the hardware, its home screen and system navigation have always been a sticking point. Recent updates for the DualSense controller improved audio input and output, and similar incremental changes for the PS5 are on the horizon.
The Explore page on the PS5 home screen appears to be running a beta that adds new features like backgrounds, friend activities, your controller's battery life, and easy links to console storage. Mystic, a popular PlayStation YouTuber, posted a new video today detailing the additions, which appear to have only rolled out to select PS5 users. You can see what's new in the video above.
