Every PS5 game with ray tracing support in 2025
Ray tracing in PS5 games can make lighting, shadows and reflections look more realistic, but not every game supports it
We’ve rounded up every PS5 game with ray tracing support in 2025, so look no further. The PS5 is a powerful console that supports cutting-edge graphical features such as ray tracing and 120Hz refresh rates, which wasn’t possible on the PS4 or PS4 Pro.
If you're new to ray tracing, the easiest way to understand what the tech does is that it essentially helps make games look even more realistic. It allows developers to incorporate real-time lighting, reflections, and shadows into games that closely resemble what you’d expect to see in real life, making virtual worlds look all the more convincing.
However, the vast majority of PS5 games don’t include any ray tracing support. Of all the titles on our best PS5 games list, only six PlayStation 5 games support ray tracing in various forms.
The list of PS5 games with ray tracing is slim, then. But it’s been gradually growing over time. It doesn’t mean that ray tracing isn’t worthwhile – it just requires a lot of processing power and is not currently a priority for some developers to implement.
We’ve seen some games receive ray tracing support many months after launch, like Elden Ring, but it isn’t a guarantee, and how ray tracing is used also varies. Sometimes a game will only include ray-traced shadows or reflections with little impact on the overall look of a title.
Again, ray tracing is very demanding on the PS5's hardware, so it's usually used sparingly. Sony's PS5 Pro significantly impacts how developers handle ray tracing. The console's added power enables faster ray tracing, improved performance, and allows more games to use the technology. Expect the list below to grow substantially with new PS5 Pro enhanced games.
If you’re looking for every PS5 game with ray tracing support, check out the titles below. We’ll update this list as more games are announced in the future. You can also find every Xbox Series X game with ray tracing support in 2025.
If you’re not interested in ray tracing and would rather play games at a higher frame rate – which is my preference – our PS5 120fps games and Xbox Series X 120fps games list every title that supports 120Hz.
PS5 games with ray tracing
Unfortunately, not all PS5 games support ray tracing. The majority of PlayStation 5 games don't include the technology because it significantly reduces performance. Those that do support the feature rarely run at 60fps as a result, which means you can usually expect a drop in resolution and frame rate to 30fps if you want to enjoy the extra graphical fidelity ray tracing can provide. Gran Turismo 7 only features ray tracing in replays, for example.
There are exceptions, however. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Spider-Man 2, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart all include an RT Performance mode that gives you the best of both worlds.
While we may see more games supporting ray tracing in the future, it's unlikely to become a standard feature in every release. Even on PC, where the hardware is far more capable and mature, ray tracing support isn’t guaranteed.
Ray tracing can also appear in various forms, such as reflections, lighting, or shadows, but it’s rare to see all three implemented at once, especially on consoles.

What is ray tracing?
Ray tracing is a new technique that simulates how light behaves in the real world and calculates how light reflects, refracts, and interacts with objects and materials. This can have a significant impact on the visual quality of games, as ray tracing includes various features such as reflections, shadows, and lighting, all of which contribute to creating a more realistic gaming experience.
Developers no longer have to spend hours "baking" lighting or reflections into a scene, as ray tracing offers a more dynamic and realistic solution. The main issue with ray tracing, especially on consoles, is that it requires a lot of computing power. The majority of games that do support ray tracing on the PS5 will often reduce the game's resolution and halve the frame rate to compensate for the performance impact. However, the PS5 Pro promises to change that.
It’s fair to say that ray tracing is the future, but it requires powerful hardware to get the most out of it. With that in mind, most PS5 games will not support ray tracing, even if developers find a way to balance performance in the future. You’ll need to pay $699.99 for a PS5 Pro if you want to enjoy the benefits of ray tracing without the compromises.
