Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has today received a free next-gen upgrade that adds ray tracing, higher frame rates, and a resolution boost. However, you needn't bother powering up your PlayStation 5 and looking for the update because it's exclusive to Xbox Series X|S for now, with a PC specific patch currently in development. This all makes complete sense, of course, as Microsoft acquired developer Ninja Theory back at E3 2018, but it still hurts a tiny little bit since the game is readily available on PS4 and other titles that now fall under the Microsoft umbrella have been enhanced after the associated studio was bought. DOOM Eternal and The Elder Scrolls Online, for example.
