On December 18, HoYoverse released version 1.4 of Zenless Zone Zero, their latest free-to-play action RPG. Available on PS5, PC, iOS, and Android, this update, titled Starstorm, introduces various new features, including fresh environments, new characters, gameplay system tweaks, and more.
One of the most striking additions in this version is the introduction of enhanced graphics for PS5 Pro players, specifically the implementation of ray tracing. This technology delivers more realistic and immersive lighting, elevating the overall visual experience.
To showcase this improvement, HoYoverse has released a one-and-a-half-minute video comparing the game with and without ray tracing. The footage highlights how ray tracing enhances the natural feel of ambient lighting and provides noticeable improvements in details like reflections on various surfaces.
Zenless Zone Zero stands out for its cyberpunk urban setting, infused with the anime-inspired aesthetics that define HoYoverse’s other successful titles, such as Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact. This blend of futuristic design and artistic flair, now enhanced by ray tracing, further immerses players in its vibrant, dynamic world.
With these upgrades, Zenless Zone Zero not only solidifies its appeal among fans of HoYoverse’s games but also sets a new standard for visual fidelity in free-to-play action RPGs.
