Nvidia showcases stunning RTX upgrades for 10 key PC games

Nvidia has arrived in Cologne in force this year, with a raft of RTX announcements to coincide with Gamescom's action-packed first day. Minecraft RTX is the biggest news so far, with a new path-traced version of the game launching on Windows 10 in the new year, but there are also new details for Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Vampire The Masquerade, Dying Light 2 and more. We've gathered up all of the trailers and some fancy RTX comparison shots for you right here, along with whatever details we could find about the type of ray tracing to be included in each game and its current release date.

We'll be going hands-on with as many of these titles as possible, so stay tuned for plenty of Digital Foundry articles and videos over the next few days! In the meantime, here are all of the ray tracing enabled titles at Gamescom this year - including those infamous "RTX ON" and "RTX OFF" comparison shots, trailers and more.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare is a return to the series' roots in many ways, whilst also bringing in a lot of new tech that should open up new gameplay possibilities. As well as variable rate shading, a performance-saving tech we loved in Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, the game also features ray traced shadows to add that extra bit of immersion. Modern Warfare's release date isn't too far out either, currently sitting at October 25, 2019.
