A good deal of the appeal of The Ascent is how pretty it is. It shines and glimmers, and its angled camera will pan to reveal gorgeous cybervistas. It’s a game where it might be worth caring about ray tracing, then. At launch, DLSS and ray tracing was available on PC via Steam but was absent from the Xbox Game Pass version.
That’s fixed now. Asthe patch notesexplain, the update should also address issues affecting co-op players, including crashes, controller issues on menus, and weapon replication bugs, among many other fixes.
I don’t really like ending normal news posts on RPS with questions, because it’s a bit pandering, a bit internet-circa-2006 (admittedly the best internet), but I am genuinely curious if you’re playing The Ascent and if so how you’re finding it. I’ve yet to play it but its shiny puddles call to me.
