The new feature is now implemented on all copies of PlayStation Zenless Zero Zone.
Zenless Zone Zero fans are disappointed that Ray Tracing is not available on PC
The feature is only available on PlayStation for now
The locations shown in the video come to life with dynamic lighting, updating everything from puddles, neon signs and sunsets to glowing bathrooms. Some of the results are subtle, visible only in the way atmospheric lighting plays on the reflections of a puddle or the shadows of a building. Others are more impressive and obvious, like the dazzling way in which the setting sun illuminates the streets and plays with the entire surrounding area.
The new lighting effects are impressive, but fans took to the comments to ask just one burning question: When will this feature come to PC? YouTube User nhandeptrai1406for example, highlights that “ray tracing on PS before PC is crazy."The comments are full of fans asking when ray tracing would come to PC, but developers HoYoverse have remained silent on the matter. As of this writing, there is no official word on when or if ray tracing will be available on PC.
Our Take: Zenless Zone Zero Looks Amazing with Ray Tracing
ZZZ looked great even before ray tracing
Ray Tracing may not be on PC yet, but PlayStation 5 fans can enjoy the new depth added to the Zenless Zero Zone with the implementation of the lighting feature. Even in areas where effects are not obvious, the overall feel of the game is greatly improved with the new dynamic lighting.
That being said, it is worth highlighting that The game's environments looked stunning even before ray tracing. A fan passing by k3salieri on YouTube notes that the small differences between the "ray tracing on" and "ray tracing off" scenes are a testament to how good the game looked before. "Reflections are good,"they say:"but I think it shows how great the environment designers are when I can only see a small difference in the lighting and shadows."Fans who play Zenless Zero Zone on PS5 can enjoy the new ray tracing update right now, while PC and mobile gamers can see the differences in the YouTube video.
