The studio cites growing PC audiences and strong PC sales for recent entries, and says the third installment is progressing on schedule, though platform timing may still vary as releases on different platforms continue to follow distinct cadences.

Ray Tracing Remains a Niche in Popular PC Games

Eight years after Nvidia introduced hardware-accelerated ray tracing with RTX, only about five of the 21 most popular PC games in 2025 actually use it, with many mainstream titles and some high-profile games skipping or limiting ray tracing in favor of software-based global illumination like Unreal Engine 5’s Lumen; broader adoption may come as new engines and RDNA 5 hardware mature, but price and performance costs keep it limited for now.
