Forza Horizon 6 Runs Like A Next-Gen Showcase On Top-End PCs, And Xbox's Project Helix Could Inherit It All
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Forza Horizon 6 features advanced ray tracing technologies, including ray-traced reflections and a new ray-traced global illumination (RTGI) system, significantly enhancing lighting realism in cars and environments.
- The RTGI system improves light behavior dynamically, making shadows and reflections more lifelike, noticeable even at high racing speeds and in third-person views.
- Ray-traced reflections allow for highly realistic self-reflections on cars and urban environments, similar to the graphical leap seen in Spider-Man's PS5 version, enhancing immersion in open-world driving scenarios.
- Currently, only PC players with high-end hardware can experience the full ray-traced effects at 60 FPS and high resolution, but these features hint at the potential capabilities of the upcoming Xbox Project Helix hardware.
- Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 15 for Premium Edition buyers and on May 19 for all other players, following an early leak that led to hardware bans for unauthorized users.
