![The Ascent Feature 2](https://images.purexbox.com/e570475df3233/the-ascent-feature-2.900x.jpg)
Interestingly, The Ascent has launched two PC versions. One for Steam and another via Xbox Game Pass for PC. Both are different, most notably in the fact that the Steam version includes DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and ray tracing support - something Xbox Game Pass for PC members are sadly missing out on.
Thankfully, the team at Neon Giant is aware of the issue and has said a fix is on the way to ensure Xbox Game Pass for PC members get the same benefits. As spotted by Eurogamer, numerous fans on Twitter have expressed concerns over the lack of features, which the developer has responded to.
It's strange that two versions of the game launched on PC with considerable graphic options missing. There’s no word on when the update will come to light, but hopefully it’s sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately for console players, the Xbox Series X and Series S release of the game won't support ray tracing, something the team at Neon Giant confirmed in an interview with Wccftech.
Whether it will be a feature to come down the road remains to be seen, but with the solid reviews from critics and a positive technical analysis of the game, we wouldn't be all too surprised if it did.

So it sounds like they might have outsourced the Game Pass PC version based on those comments?
Hopefully they update the font size soon. I enjoyed the few hours I've put into it, but the text is so small even on a 55" TV its unplayable for me at the moment. Game is good fun though and amazing it came from such a small team!
Any hint that RT is coming to the Series consoles?
I’m only on the second main mission so I hope ray tracing gets added to the Series versions sooner rather than later.
@redd214 Have you already tried increasing the font size in the settings? Bumping it up to 21 should definitely be big enough as I’ve currently got it on 14 and I’m also playing on a 55” TV.
@SplooshDmg I've seen so many posts about character builds and play styles that are all wildly different. I invested heavily in Evasion, Health, and Shotguns so I can play build that almost feels like melee action. I love rolling into point blank head shots.
The Gamepass versions of several games are lacking compared with their Steam counterparts, not least because you have little customisation as the files are hidden on your computer and locked out even when you do find them. Frankly I hate it and I just buy the games I want from Steam rather than use Gamepass
@MaccaMUFC That only effects the size of the subtitles which are fine. I'm moreso referring to in game UI/armor & weapon stats etc.
I also hope they're working on console patch as well. I know a few of our problems during co-op are attributed to my buddy's launch XBO, but there are also a lot of weird little bugs, like being stuck in a vendor menu or the little waypoint trail that leads to dead ends, that need to be cleared up. Otherwise I'm enjoying it so far.
Liking this game a lot on Xbox - helps that it is gorgeous.
How about a true offline mode?
