Hellblade gets ray-tracing upgrade on PC

Back in August, Microsoft rolled out a huge graphics upgrade for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, adding in new features like ray-tracing. Unfortunately, the upgrade was only available for the game on Xbox Series X/S consoles. That changes today, with the PC version getting the ray-tracing upgrade, as well as support for performance enhancing features. 

The new Hellblade update comes with “enriched visuals, DirectX Raytracing, Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR support”. You can see ray-tracing in action on the PC version of the game in the gameplay video below:

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice initially released in 2017 as a PS4 console exclusive. One year later, Microsoft swooped in to acquire Ninja Theory and the studio began expanding to take on multiple projects.

At this point, Ninja Theory is working on the sequel to Hellblade – Senua's Saga: Hellblade II and Project: MARA. Last year, the studio also launched Bleeding Edge, but the multiplayer hero shooter didn't take off and is no longer receiving content updates.

KitGuru Says: This update was very impressive on the Xbox Series X, so it'll be interesting to see it running on a high-end PC.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
