Assassin's Creed Shadows to Feature Exclusive Ray Tracing Modes on PS5 Pro

Ubisoft unveils enhanced graphics options for PS5 Pro, including extended ray tracing and performance improvements ahead of the game's March 20 release.

Assassin's Creed Shadows will offer three exclusive graphics modes on PS5 Pro, including extended ray tracing for reflective surfaces and global illumination.
The PS5 Pro's Fidelity Mode provides upscaled 4K resolution at 30fps with extended ray tracing, while Balanced Mode offers 40fps with similar enhancements for compatible displays.
Standard PS5 players will have access to Performance, Fidelity, and Balanced modes, but with selective or standard ray tracing rather than extended capabilities.
Ubisoft released 20 minutes of new gameplay footage highlighting the dual protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, showcasing stealth and combat-focused playstyles.
The game is set to launch on March 20, 2025, for PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, marking the first Assassin's Creed title designed exclusively for current-gen consoles.
