Ray tracing is the hot new graphics tech of 2021, and Nvidia have just announced another fresh crop of ray tracing and DLSS games that are coming to PC later this year. To help you keep track of them all, I’ve created this list of all the confirmed ray tracing games you can play on PC right now, as well which ones will be getting ray tracing support in the future. And because ray tracing tends to go hand in hand with Nvidia’s performance-boosting DLSS tech these days, I’ve also listed all the current and upcoming games that support DLSS as well.

Ray tracing is the big buzz word of 2020 in PC gaming, and Nvidia have just announced another fresh batch of ray tracing and DLSS games, including a couple of old ones that will be getting support in future updates.

Awesome Games Done Quick (aka AGDQ) has started yet again, and just four days in has already blessed us with some unforgettable moments and absolute must-watch PC speedruns. The clips I offer up to you today involve one speedrunner whacking out a real life model to explain a glitch, one speedrun where everything went wrong but everyone had a fabulous time anyway, and one game developer exclaiming “frick cancer in the bum.”

I’ve had a rollicking good time with Amid Evil over its year-and-a-bit in early access, so I’m glad to say that the final version is out now and every bit as good as I’d hoped. Developed by Indefatigable, a small team of former Doom modders, it’s a high fantasy ’90s style FPS heavily inspired by Doom cousin Heretic, but has a few big ideas of its own. Probably its greatest strength is variety – while the running and zapping is familiar and straightforward, its seven worlds have entirely different (and increasingly surreal) styles and enemies. See for yourself in the launch trailer below.

Old-school fantasy FPS Amid Evil finally has a release date after a year and change in early access. Indefatigable’s Heretic-inspired shooter impressed me when it made its debut, and has only improved with each update. Current players have access to six different episodes, each with a unique look and monster-set for their handful of levels. As of June 20th, the seventh and final episode — The Arcane Void — will launch, and the game will officially be complete. This time, it’s all getting a bit abstract, as it turns out that geometry is pure evil. See the trailer and some thoughts on the game-as-is below.

The retro FPS renaissance is in full swing. Whether spurred by the seemingly immortal Doom modding scene, Id’s own franchise reboot or just an audience hungry for something fresh after a glut of overly-similar ‘tactical’ FPS’s, there are a growing number of old-school shooters featuring swarms of monsters, an absence of regenerating health bars and a focus on speed and mobility as survival tactics rather than diving behind cover and waiting for an opportunity to return fire.

The latest on the block is Amid Evil, a high-fantasy FPS by a Indefatigable, a team of former Doom modders. I played through the current early access build of the game (which officially launches today) over the weekend, and have some thoughts on this pleasant blend of old-school aesthetics and cutting-edge technology.

We reported on the announcement of pointedly retro FPS Amid Evil a few weeks ago. This week, publisher New Blood Interactive let me play an early preview demo and, after a couple runs through the handful of levels included, I’m eager to share my thoughts on the game thus far. You can also watch a generous helping of gameplay footage below.
