Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 Steam Ray Tracing Feature Removed

According to recent reports from several players, Capcom has seemingly quietly removed the ray tracing feature in the Steam version of Resident Evil 7 and the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. This is the opposite of Capcom’s recent statement of removing the games’ DirectX 11 non-ray tracing versions, as now the DirectX 12 ray-tracing versions have been removed instead, which may mean this was some sort of error. Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3 are available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.

Resident Evil 2

The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely rebuilt from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience.

Players join rookie police officer Leon Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield, who are thrust together by a disastrous outbreak in Raccoon City that transformed its population into deadly zombies. Both Leon and Claire have their own separate playable campaigns, allowing players to see the story from both characters’ perspectives. The fate of these two fan favorite characters is in players hands as they work together to survive and get to the bottom of what is behind the terrifying attack on the city. Will they make it out alive?
