Q: When will Definitive Edition be available?Ī: Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will be available November 5th, 2019 for the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X, Playstation 4, and Windows PC/Steam, with the Stadia version launching in later November.Additionally, players who have completed the game can choose to turn off outfit restrictions in the main game hub. You may have a different view to me, but I can't help but feel the difference in image quality is just not worth the hefty performance penalty.A: Experience the Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, featuring all available content to date including Base Game, Season Pass, Croft Edition exclusive bonuses, the all-new Definitive Edition outfit, and additional gameplay adjustments.

KitGuru says: It's taken some time but Shadow of the Tomb Raider has finally implemented RTX features. At – roughly speaking – a 40% performance hit, too, I have to say I would be playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider with RTX firmly off for now. That said, I think you'd have to be deliberately keeping an eye out to spot the difference during actual game play – in my opinion, the visual difference is not exactly revolutionary. When viewing the ray traced shadows side by side with shadows produced when RTX is off, yes it does look better in some situations. Nvidia has previously made the point that DLSS can improve over time as its neural network is continually trained, but at launch, DLSS is simply not worth it.Īll in all, I have to say I am not too enamoured with the RTX implementation within Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Unfortunately, the visual side is very disappointing as the image just looks soft and blurry. It does give you a decent performance uplift depending on the settings and resolution used – we saw a frame rate increase of almost 40% when gaming at 4K with RTX Shadows set to Ultra once we enabled DLSS, for example. We present average frame rates for the game, taken with RTX Shadows off (using the ‘Highest' preset) and then again with RTX Shadows set to Ultra.Īs for DLSS – well, it's not great.

Today, we take you through the RTX implementation in Shadow of the Tomb Raider to see if it was worth the wait. Despite that, it has taken over six months for the game to actually get RTX features out to the masses. When Nvidia first demonstrated the real-time ray tracing capabilities of its RTX 20 Ti graphics cards back at Gamescom 2018, Shadow of the Tomb Raider was one of the main titles it showcased.
