Path tracing requires frame generation for stable frame rates. The game automatically enables it alongside ray reconstruction. Ray tracing and path tracing use over 12 GB VRAM even at upscaled 1080p, so 8 GB GPU owners should stick to rasterized lighting.
Resident Evil Requiem runs on Capcom’s RE Engine, which isn’t particularly suited for large, open-world games. Fortunately, the RE franchise mainly features smaller, secluded environments. The engine has been upgraded to incorporate a unified path tracing pipeline, including shadows, reflections, and global illumination.
MonsterVine: "Resident Evil Requiem blends first-person survival horror with RE4-inspired action, starring Leon and newcomer Grace in Capcom’s most refined modern Resident Evil yet."
Resident Evil Requiem surpasses 260K concurrent players on Steam, setting a new all-time record for the franchise at launch.
