Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition will not support ray-tracing on Xbox Series S, Capcom has today declared.
“We’re excited to bring Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition to Xbox Series S|X with high frame rates up to 120 fps, enhanced 3D audio, reduced loading times, the Legendary Dark Knight difficulty, Turbo Mode and playable Vergil on both consoles,” a statement from Capcom today begins.
“Fans playing Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition on Xbox Series X will also experience the game in 4k resolution and with Direct X Ray Tracing [Capcom’s emphasis]. Both consoles deliver amazing next generation speed and performance, and while we are just now scratching the surface of what they can do our teams are eager to continue exploring the full capabilities of Xbox Series S|X in the future.
“While ray tracing will be available as a downloadable title update on Xbox Series X, Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition will not support ray tracing on Xbox Series S.”
