Microsoft has started testing ray tracing support for Minecraft <\/em>on Xbox Series X \/ S consoles. A new Minecraft<\/em> Preview build is available to Xbox Insiders, and it includes limited ray tracing support. The latest test build is also marked as optimized for Xbox Series X \/ S, suggesting that a next-gen patch is coming soon.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been testing out the latest Minecraft<\/em> Preview, and have been able to successfully enable some ray tracing support. It\u2019s not a simple switch, though. Minecraft<\/em>\u2019s ray tracing is enabled through additional resource packs, and there\u2019s no easy way of downloading and installing these in the Xbox version of the game right now. There\u2019s a workaround, though. You can host a Minecraft <\/em>session on a Windows PC with the packs enabled, and an Xbox player can join that session and ray tracing will be enabled.<\/p>\n

Minecraft with raytracing on Xbox? The latest Minecraft Preview is optimized for Xbox Series S \/ X and has early raytracing support pic.twitter.com\/cqH0cuGbtS<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019re then able to toggle ray tracing support on or off from the settings menu. While there is also a setting for upscaling support, this appears to be limited to Nvidia\u2019s DLSS on the PC side right now. Hopefully that will eventually extend to AMD\u2019s FSR 2.0 support on Xbox<\/a>, or other upscaling techniques.<\/p>\n

Minecraft <\/em>players on Xbox have been waiting a long time to hear about ray tracing on Xbox Series X \/ S. Microsoft originally teased<\/a> Minecraft<\/em> ray tracing on Xbox Series X two years ago, and the addition of the support in the latest preview build suggests it could be on its way soon.<\/p>\n

Minecraft<\/em>\u2019s blocky aesthetic was originally upgraded as part of the ray tracing launch<\/a> for the Windows 10 version of the game in December 2020. The ray tracing is most noticeable in water reflections or shadows within Minecraft<\/em>, or through the additional detail in texture packs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
