Ray tracing is a fairly recent advancement in video game rendering that has enabled developers to craft worlds with complex lighting and realistic reflections, and with consoles now supporting hardware-accelerated ray tracing the technique has been unanimous with current-gen games now. But technology moves at a rapid pace, and we are already seeing path tracing or full ray tracing being incorporated into certain games on the market.
