    No. It doesn't have raytracing on Stadia. But I'll explain why that doesn't matter so much.

    There are few games that have captivated me so    No. It doesn't have raytracing on Stadia. But I'll explain why that doesn't matter so much.

    There are few games that have captivated me so much and that I have finished so often. Control is one of them. When it was released on Xbox I bought the Ultimate Edition on Epic because of the raytracing. I then played it on Geforce Now. It looks good. No question about it. The effects make sense. But one thing should be clear. The impact in this game is relatively small. I find that one misses little, one should prefer the Stadia version. On the contrary.

    The Stadia version runs stable, looks good and has a high level of detail in both 1080p and 4K. The advantages are clearly the ease of use of the app, fast switching of devices and very good technical background. Therefore, I finish the Ultimate version now a 4th time on Stadia and can say that it is my favorite of all versions!

    However, the Nintendo Switch version beats all others with richer colors. You have to give it that.

    Nein. Es hat kein Raytracing auf Stadia. Warum das aber nicht so sehr ins Gewicht fällt erkläre ich euch.

    Es gibt wenige Spiele die mich so sehr gefesselt haben und die ich so oft beendet habe. Control gehört dazu. Zum Release auf der Xbox gespielt habe ich mir wegen Raytracing die Ultimate Edition auf Epic geholt. Gespielt habe ich es dann auf Geforce Now. Es sieht gut aus. Keine Frage. Die Effekte haben durchaus seinen Sinn. Aber eines sollte klar sein. Der Einfluss in diesem Spiel ist relativ gering. Ich finde das einen wenig entgeht, sollte man die Stadia Version bevorzugen. Im Gegenteil.

    Die Stadia Version läuft stabil, sieht gut aus und hat sowohl in 1080p als auch in 4K einen hohen detailgrad. Die Vorzüge sind klar die einfache Handhabung der App, schnelles wechseln der Geräte und sehr guter technischer Background. Deshalb beende ich die Ultimate Version jetzt ein 4. mal auf Stadia und kann sagen das es mir von allen Versionen die liebste ist!

    Allerdings schlägt die Nintendo Switch Version alle anderen mit satteren Farben. Das muss man ihr lassen.    … Expand

    Thank you, thank you, Stadia. I have been waiting for this to come to Stadia because I am one of the many people with that bug that causes allThank you, thank you, Stadia. I have been waiting for this to come to Stadia because I am one of the many people with that bug that causes all the textures in the game to become a muddy mess. I bought an RTX card just to play this game on PC and I could never even get to enjoy it because of the bug (which still exists). So I was hoping it would come to Stadia even though I knew it wouldn't have ray tracing (which I turned off anyway as it didn't add enough to offset the performance hit). The game does not disappoint! It is such a fluid blend of sci-fi and shooter that a lot of the time while I am playing I am like, 'damn how did they nail this so well.' The fluidness of the combat between a weighty weapon and even heavier telekinetic powers that feel like they look. A superb game and if you are like me and prefer quality you can have it at a steady 30 fps comparable to the best settings on PC without the massive hardware cost! At this point, I actively hope every game I want to play comes to Stadia because I have all but stopped buying them anywhere else. (looking at you FFXIV)… Expand

    I think Nolan have played to inspire for Tenet.
    Still, I'm utterly disappointed with the graphics quality of this game on Stadia.
    It doesn't matter if I run it on 30fps or 60fps the game visuals poor below the quality average I got used to on the platform.
    Also, it doesn't have HDR.
    The game is not that old but it does look like from ten years ago    … Expand
