Forza Horizon 5 Uses Ray-Tracing to Enhance the Audio - News

Tweet

Developer Playground Games in Episode 3 of its Let’s ¡Go! series for Forza Horizon 5 discussed how ray-tracing will enhance the racing game's audio. 

Creative director Mike Brown and lead audio designer Fraser Strachan in the video discussed how ray-tracing was implemented with the audio design. The game is constantly detecting the world and using that feedback to delivery audio that sounds like it is bouncing off every object. 

The different environments in the game will change the audio, as urban areas will bounce the sound back more than in the open desert, and the sound will be more muffled in the forests. 

It should be noted that visual ray-tracing will only be available in the Forzavista mode, which is a mode that lets you view the car up close. 

Forza Horizon 5 will launch for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on November 9.
