Cyberpunk 2077's Ray Tracing Overdrive Mode Is a Sneak Peek into the Future of Full Ray Tracing

New Technology Preview from CD Projekt Red

Get Ready for a Whole New Level of Immersion

Cyberpunk 2077 is about to get a whole lot more immersive. CD Projekt Red has announced that they will be releasing a technology preview of a new ray tracing mode for the game next month. This new mode, called Ray Tracing Overdrive Mode, will take the game's already impressive visuals to the next level by enabling full ray tracing.

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the way light interacts with objects in a scene. This results in more realistic and immersive visuals, as it allows for more accurate lighting, shadows, and reflections. Until now, ray tracing has been too computationally expensive to be used in real-time games, but with the advent of new hardware from NVIDIA, it is now becoming a reality.

The technology preview for Cyberpunk 2077's Ray Tracing Overdrive Mode will be available next month. It will be a free update for all owners of the game, and it will give players a chance to experience the future of ray tracing firsthand.
