The key point

IT Home reports that the producer announced an approximately 5 GB update targeting ray tracing, path tracing and bug fixes. Check your own platform for delivery.

What the report says

IT Home's report, republished by Sina Finance, attributes the approximately 5 GB launch update to producer Soulframe Liang. It says the update targets ray-tracing and path-tracing performance and fixes some bugs. We checked the report, not the original post or the retail patch itself.

The report says preloaded copies need an update and fresh downloads should include the newer build. Your platform's actual download and availability are the authoritative indicators for your copy.

Before launching

  • Check your purchased platform for pending updates and follow its installation prompts.
  • Leave the free space requested by the platform; installation can require more than the download size.
  • For ray tracing or path tracing, consider starting with conservative settings and adjusting after checking stability.

Not tested here

Platform-specific download sizes, a patch version number and actual performance gains have not been verified by this site. The report also relays the developer's view that the non-ray-traced visuals retain the intended art style; this is not our performance benchmark.
