Ray tracing is the hot new graphics tech of next-generation gaming, and it's probably one of the biggest reasons why you might want be thinking about upgrading to one of today's best graphics cards. Both Nvidia and AMD cards now support this fancy, realistic lighting tech, and the number of ray tracing games available to play on PC is steadily getting bigger with each passing month. Nvidia have just added in ray tracing and DLSS support to Mortal Shell, for example, and AMD recently confirmed that Resident Evil Village would be getting ray tracing support when it launches on May 7th. What's more, CD Projekt Red have finally added in ray tracing support for AMD RX 6000 cards in Cyberpunk 2077 as part of its major Patch 1.2 update at the end of March. But there are plenty more ray tracing games on the way as well.

To help you keep on top of which games support ray tracing, I've created this list of all the confirmed ray tracing games you can play on PC right now, as well which ones will be getting ray tracing support in the future. And because ray tracing tends to go hand in hand with Nvidia's performance-boosting DLSS tech these days, I've also listed all the current and upcoming games that support DLSS as well.

Previously, you needed an Nvidia RTX card to take advantage of games with ray tracing support, but now that AMD's Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards have arrived, you can take advantage of these realistic reflections and lighting effects regardless of whether you've got an Nvidia RTX card or an AMD Radeon RX 6000 GPU. What's more, Intel's upcoming Xe graphics cards are also set to support ray tracing when they eventually arrive later this year, giving you even more choice when it comes to buying a ray tracing-capable GPU.

Right now, the number of ray tracing games you can actually play on PC is still pretty small, but it's slowly getting larger. Indeed, now that the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 have both launched as well, it's only a matter of time before this list starts getting even bigger. Both of these next-gen consoles have built-in ray tracing support, which will hopefully mean that more developers will start adding ray tracing to their games as a matter of course. For now, though, these are all the ray tracing games on PC you can play right now.

Ray tracing games you can play right now:

Amid Evil
Battlefield V
Bright Memory Infinite
Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)
Control
Cyberpunk 2077
Crysis Remastered
Deliver Us The Moon
Dirt 5

Xuan-Yuan Sword VII

As you can see, the list of ray tracing games you can play right now is pretty small. The good news is that more ray tracing games are on the way, and below you'll find all the other upcoming ray tracing games we currently know about. There's no guarantee these games will get ray tracing at launch - we're still waiting for Doom Eternal's ray tracing support, for example, and Assetto Corsa Competizione ended up cancelling its ray tracing support altogether. With a little bit of luck, though, the games you see below should eventually join the ray tracing games listed above.

Ray tracing games on the way:

Atomic Heart
Boundary
Dying Light 2
Doom Eternal
Enlisted
Far Cry 6
FIST: Forged In Shadow Torch
Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach
Godfall
Hitman 3
Justice Online
JX Online 3
Ready Or Not
Resident Evil Village
Synced: Off-Planet
The Riftbreaker
The Witcher III: Complete Edition
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

DLSS games you can play right now:

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the number of DLSS games you can play right now is also pretty minuscule. Unlike ray tracing, these games do require the use of an Nvidia RTX card here, as DLSS is a proprietary technology exclusive to Nvidia. It's an AI-powered upscaling technology that helps to boost performance at higher resolutions (particularly when you've got ray tracing enabled), and many of today's big ray tracing games such as Watch Dogs Legions simply aren't playable without it.

AMD are also working on their own competing technology to rival DLSS called FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), but it's not currently available on their RX 6000 graphics cards. AMD have pledged to release FSR sometime this year, it sounds like it's still very much in development rather than facing an imminent release. I'd imagine it will be closer toward the end of 2021 rather than any time sooner. For now, though, here are all the DLSS games you can currently play right now:

Amid Evil
Anthem
Battlefield V
Bright Memory
Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Control
Crysis Remastered
Cyberpunk 2077
Death Stranding
Deliver Us The Moon
F1 2020
Final Fantasy XV
Fortnite
Ghostrunner
Iron Conflict
Justice
Marvel's Avengers
Mechwarrior V: Mercenaries
Metro Exodus
Minecraft
Monster Hunter: World
Mortal Shell
Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
Naraka: Bladepoint
Nioh 2: The Complete Edition
Outriders
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
The Fabled Woods
The Medium
Watch Dogs Legion
Wolfenstein Youngblood

The introduction of DLSS 2.0 in games such as Death Stranding marked a real turning point for Nvidia's performance-boosting upscaling tech. Whereas previous DLSS games looked noticeably blurry with DLSS enabled, DLSS 2.0 is now indistinguishable from a game's native resolution.

According to Nvidia, there are lots more DLSS games on the way, too. DLSS has now been integrated into both the Unreal Engine and Unity game-making tools, so it should be much easier for developers to start adding in support for it. That said, several games Nvidia have announced over the past few years still haven't received their intended DLSS support yet, and consequently I've removed some of the titles that were previously included on this list, as even Nvidia seem to have forgotten about them in their most recent DLSS announcements. Instead, the games below are definitely confirmed to be getting DLSS support, based on the most recent information available to us.
