Again, the DualSense is one of my favourite things about the new generation of consoles, and I'm in love with its new vibrations and adaptive triggers. And that was quite challenging, but also fun.
CHERNOBYLITE PC PC
If we consider the PC version, though, we have to tame the beast – the beautiful, powerful beast – and squeeze it into the console. Adding this technology increases an already gorgeous game. It's an incredibly powerful technology, and everyone has done exceptional work on adding this into the next version of the game. Ray tracing isn't brand new, but it's still relatively new in the grand scheme of game development and optimization. "What was more challenging, however, was the ray tracing stuff. On it was much, much better running, we were able to increase the frame-rate, and introduce more fidelity to the game."

Set around the present day, some 30 years after the Chornobyl nuclear disaster of 1986, Chernobylite sees players filling the shoes of Ukrainian physicist and one-time Chornobyl nuclear plant employee, Igor Khymynuk, who is searching for his missing fiance.
