Resident Evil Village Gets Ray-tracing From AMD

AMD has confirmed ray tracing support in Resident Evil Village. Capcom's new game will utilize Radeon's FidelityFX technology.

When gamers discuss ray-tracing, it usually refers mainly to the technology developed by Nvidia within the GeForce RTX series. However, the competitors from AMD are not far behind, offering their own version of the feature in many games. Today, as if on the occasion of the reveal of Radeon RX 6700 XT, the company confirmed another production supporting Fidelity FX - Resident Evil Village. The full list of titles supporting the technology can be found here.

Some players wonder whether this news does not exclude the presence of another Nvidia technology, namely DLSS, as it happens in Godfall, Dirt 5 and World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. For now, however, we have no information on this subject. Also, with the release of the new Resident Evil, AMD may finally reveal its own answer to DLSS. Resident Evil Village will launch on May 7 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
