MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries releases in a few days and Piranha Games has announced that its title won’t support Ray Tracing or DLSS at launch. The team is currently working with NVIDIA in order to optimize these effects, and will add them to the game via a post-launch update.
As Russ Bullock, President of developer Piranha Games, told WCCFTech:
“As to RTX, we just found out yesterday that we’re not going to have RTX at launch. There is a large committed effort to bring RTX to MechWarrior as soon as possible post-release. I am afraid that is all the details I have on the matter as of this time. Since our game release is so close to the Christmas break I would expect there to be an update very early in the new year.”
Now let’s hope that Piranha Games will implement these RTX effects soon. Unless of course this is another “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” situation, in which we’ll have to wait for more than six months for these effects.
In other news, Piranha Games has also released the launch trailer for its MechWarrior 5 that you can watch below.
Enjoy!

It just works….
Meanwhile I’m hving some fun playing an oldie on GOG, XIII. I did give RDR2 a go, but the Rockstar launcher detailed that I didn’t own the game. Looks like it’s still a bug ridden mess.
It ceased to exist once it took the Epic game store poison pill.
The game was already a very niche game to begin with. SO they thought this would get them press perhaps, but it’s the worse kinda press there is. Epic Hostage Store!!!
I miss Mechassault….. 🙁
How will this ugly schitt benefit from ray tracing when it looks like from PS3 era
Haven’t really played a Mech game since Earthsiege2 (i think) Alpha. Watched videos though of most successors though and I can’t but keep wondering why don’t they add a robust Destruction Model to the game.
