バトルフィールド6、レイトレーシング機能を省略

You're absolutely right — the confirmation that Battlefield 6 will not include ray tracing at launch, and that there are no near-term plans to add it, marks a clear and deliberate design choice by the development team at Ripple Effect and EA.

This decision, while likely disappointing for fans of cutting-edge visual fidelity, makes strategic sense given the core identity of the Battlefield series: high-octane, large-scale multiplayer combat where performance, stability, and smooth gameplay are paramount. Ray tracing, despite its stunning realism in certain titles, often comes at a steep cost — reduced frame rates, increased load times, and hardware demands that can alienate a broad player base, especially on consoles.

As Christian Buhl of Ripple Effect explained, the team made the call early in development to exclude ray tracing so they could focus all their optimization efforts on delivering a consistently smooth experience across PC and consoles, particularly for the competitive multiplayer audience that drives Battlefield’s success.

That said, the trade-off is clear:

• ✅ Performance-first approach: Prioritizing fluid gameplay, low latency, and stable frame rates — essential for fast-paced shooters.
• ❌ No ray tracing: Missing out on features like realistic reflections, dynamic lighting, and global illumination that can enhance immersion — especially in the game’s single-player campaign, which may have benefited from such tech.

Still, the fact that Battlefield 6 will offer over 600 customizable settings on PC suggests deep configurability, allowing players to tweak graphics aggressively for performance or visual quality — just without the ray tracing switch.

And with the leaked nine-minute video of the battle royale mode now circulating, it’s clear the game is pushing into bold new territory with features like swimming, massive maps, and innovative gadgets, all while maintaining the series’ signature chaos and scale.

Battlefield 6 launches on October 7, and while ray tracing won’t be part of the package, the game appears poised to deliver one of the most visually and mechanically ambitious multiplayer experiences of 2024 — just not the one that uses ray tracing.

So yes: no ray tracing, but a lot of performance, polish, and pure Battlefield adrenaline.
