Wolfenstein: Youngblood released ins a few days and it appears that it will not support real-time ray tracing at launch. This has been confirmed by the game’s executive producer Jerk Gustafsson who claims that MachineGames and NVIDIA are currently working on implementing them.
As Gustafsson told VentureBeat
“We’re working together with Nvidia on that, but raytracing won’t be available at launch. The engineers at Nvidia are still hard at work getting that solution to look as good as possible for the game, and the date is still to be determined. But from what we’ve seen so far, it’ll be good.”
Unfortunately, Gustafsson did not reveal any additional details so we don’t know for which effects ray tracing will be used. My guess is that RTX will be used for the game’s reflections, though it be awesome if MachineGames and NVIDIA also use RTX in order to enhance the game’s global illumination and shadows.
The game will also be using NVIDIA’s Adaptive Shading tech, and will be protected by the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood releases on August 26th and Bethesda has already provided us with a review code (so expect our initial PC performance impressions to go live on July 25th).
Stay tuned for more!

Pre-order cancelled! /s
LOL 🙂
Wolfenstein games looks like sh][t.
Whoa what fk? What are they thinking this will absolutely DESTROY their launch sales
I sure as hell ain’t getting it until the RTX features are added.
Oh no. How will they ever recover from something barely anyone can use.
Found the pleb
Huh
I’m sporting Vega 64’s and this revelation made me cancel my Pre-order. Disgusting!..
Crossfire is even more DEAD than SLI and NVLink in one, you moron, Weakened your computer to pick a side, loser .

> Vega64’s
I’m so sorry
Why? It’s a great GPU. With HBBM, quite future proofed, VRAM wise, as well.
On another note, the microtransactions will be there at launch.
Who cares about this game?
apparently even the devs say that they are afraid it wont sell and its a risky move and bethesda wont market it.
^ never happened
Jerk Gustafsson said it himself
You mean a feature I’d have to shell out a ton for, and have to play it at 1080p?.
Naw, I’m good. I won’t be needing to use such a feature for at least 5 years.
wait till you see the dialogues and the humor,.
Likely had to crunch everyone to pack in more woke bulls**t. Things like “game features”, will have to take a back seat until the political agenda is fulfilled.
Some nibba be like
RaYtRaCiNg Is ThE FutuRe oF reNdERing
As @Sr_Chalice:disqus once said, this sheet is just an excuse to keep consoles at 30fps forever.
NO GAYTRACING..
Interesting.
Wolfenstein games have always been about B.J. Blazkowizc killing Nazis and now Bethesda wants to serve us a version with his 2 daughters taking his place? I don’t see why that is necessary or even wanted.
After 56 years of Dr Who being a male the present Dr Who is a female.
After 57 years and 26 movies of 007 being James Bond, the next 007 will be a black female. I know there are female spies but why not name her 008 or 006?
It seems mainstream media is just determined to turn traditions upside down for no reason other than political correctness. It’s silly imo.
Salivating publishers going for more moolah with this. Singleplayer into co-op for the drm/always online excuse, to make modding a violation of eula, follow the herd social proofing microtransactions sales, and the injection of forced combatant cardio kickboxing females vs BJ to widen the appeal to target market researched groups that buy the most stealth price gouging microtransactions: women, who in particular love purchasing overpriced cosmetics.
Plenty of women in past IPs have been part of strong story delivery (Samus Aran, Jill Valentine, Lara Croft, etc etc etc), and I think I’m preaching to the choir here when I say that when it’s forced like this in an already established IP or they do it to replace real stories of heroics like in BFV, it’s very clearly marketing trying way too hard with disingenuous virtue signaling PURELY for money – and it’s absolutely transparent – like Gillette scolding us guys for breathing, thus “going viral”, or all of the sudden corporate interest in “pride” stuff.
Be ready for even more singleplayer games to pivot into this kind scam. ESA execs are dishonorable mercenaries, not trying to honorably fight for what they think is some noble crusade or agenda. They couldn’t give 2 sh*ts about the virtue signaling they inject. It’s PURELY money. Always will be. To me, and as sh*tty as it sounds, regulation cannot come soon enough in this out of control, wild west industry that’s killing the art form.
Nor my money!
Greatly optimized PC port >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RayDancing
Turing owners get shafted yet again.. oh and doom eternal will not have it either at launch
The next installment in the Doom franchise will be launching on consoles, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and PC on November 22, 2019. The PC version of the game will not be supporting NVIDIA’s RTX features at launch, but the development team has announced that implementing ray tracing effects and support for NVIDIA’s hardware is a priority and will be addressed after the game’s release.
