Guardians Of The Galaxy Adds Ray-Tracing

Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy has impressed fans and critics alike thus far. The latest patch for the game has just been released, and its without doubt the biggest one yet. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players will be glad to hear the addition of ray-tracing, whilst there have also been improvements in performance for the PS4.

Additionally, we will also see the Save Rollback feature added, allowing players to go back to an earlier checkpoint of the mission. Obviously, the patch will also help fix any bugs and issues which the game has had, which we have to say haven’t been that many. Unfortunately for PC players, they will have to wait until November 19 for their update to arrive. Could this be due to the vast amount of storage the original game needed? Perhaps not, but it’s still worth noting for anyone looking to purchase the PC version.

Despite this, PC players are still certainly in for a treat, especially with how the game looks on it. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean the console editions don’t look stunning either. Have a quick look at the trailer below to remind yourselves of the Guardians adventures right here:
