Battlefield 2042 will feature Ray Tracing on PC, first PC trailer released

NVIDIA and DICE have just announced that the PC version of Battlefield 2042 will feature Ray Tracing effects. According to the green team, DICE will use Ray Tracing in order to enhance the game’s Ambient Occlusion. Moreover, the game will also support NVIDIA’s DLSS and Reflex techs.

Battlefield 2042 is a first-person shooter that will be focusing on multiplayer action. As such, the game will not feature any traditional single-player modes. The game also promises to feature a cutting-edge arsenal into dynamically-changing battlegrounds supporting 128 players. Additionally, it aims to include unprecedented scale and epic destruction.

Battlefield 2042 will also come with Battlefield Portal. According to DICE, Battlefield Portal is an all-new, community-driven platform where players will be able to change the rules of war by creating, sharing and discovering unexpected battles from Battlefield’s iconic past, present, and future.

Below you can find the game’s official PC trailer. Contrary to other RTX trailers, though, this one does not feature any comparison scenes between “RTX On” and “RTX Off”.

Battlefield 2042 will release on November 19th!

  1. Frame rates looked low in the video, plus with intensive online games every frame rate matters. Most will turn off Raytracing as it’s nothing but a resource hog

  2. That frame drop at 0:35 was real. The graphics still look ugly for a 2021 game. I don’t expect a decent frame rate even with dlss on at 1080p

    1. Ugly ? compared to what? Don’t be a dolt. This game is crapo, yes, and will be the first BF game i won’t buy, but don’t be a dum dum denying the gfx.

  3. even without RT i think the problem with games like COD or BF the developer try to make the game as pretty as possible. isn’t that useless? competitive gamer only care about faster performance. in the end some of them will still lower everything so they push the FPS as high as possible. for competitive FPS graphic beyond CSGO is unneeded.

    1. BF was always marketed as the pretty and expansive game, COD was the “go for the fast action” game. As time progressed, they intertwined sort of.

  4. Like in battlefield 5 ? Sttttttuttttterrrr. Microstuttttter frraamedrops all over the place? Can’t wait for the battlefield forums get flood by complaining players about performance issues..
    ” I downloaded nvidia driver 6272627.33 and still getting framedrops on ultra in 480p with my RTX 3090 ” drama

    1. I think your system is efed up. I have a 3080 and consistent 120 fps at Ultra settings. Zero micro stuttering.

  5. The beta cooled my hype for this game…but like bf4 being a broken mess in the beta and for almost a year after launch it might get better.

    And im intrigued about bf portals

    1. you can hear the mw2 soundtrack playing in the background…in your head. He has another video that you cant tell its fallout 4 even more.

  6. This is a fast paced multiplayer only shooter so DLSS and Reflex will really come in handy. Why will anyone play with ray traced ambient occlusion that will kill your frame rate? It’s not like you are going to stand still most of the time and admire the “ray traced AO”

  7. These visuals look incredible, but it seems the frame rate is taking quite a hit.

    Weird because BFV ran and looked pretty great with RTX on.

    1. It looks worse than V…and that comes with the increment of players number and bigger maps…but the fidelity took a huge hit, even the sound is worse than in previous games.
