To help you keep track of them all, I’ve created this list of all the confirmed ray tracing games you can play on PC right now, as well which ones will be getting ray tracing support in the future.

Capcom now says 390,000 people's information may be compromised in ransomware attack

January 12, 2021 Capcom has issued an update on its November data breach.

Capcom confirmed in November that it was the subject of a ransomware attack, which compromised a wide array of the company's private information. The breach occurred on November 2, and on November 4 Capcom issued a press release which said "at present there is no indication that any customer information was breached". However, the company said later in November, that some player information was among the compromised data, and today has updated the total number of potentially compromised information affects around 400,000 people.

If you're reading this English-language news article, however, you can breathe easier. Capcom says it has no evidence that North American Capcom store and esports website information has been even possibly compromised. That was previously the only customer information outside of Japan suspected to be at risk.

However, the company has now confirmed that 16,415 people, including business partners, current employees, former employees, and their family members, have had some sort of data compromised. That's up from nine data breaches confirmed back in November.

Monster Hunter movie director cuts racist joke, apologises

December 9, 2020 A brief dialogue scene with a racist joke will be removed from the Monster Hunter movie worldwide following backlash in China.

The Monster Hunter movie is receiving edits worldwide after a joke with racist overtones caused the film to be pulled from Chinese theatres. Director Paul W. S. Anderson has issued an apology, as has Asian-American actor Jin Au-Yeung, who performed the line in the film.

The scene will be removed from all versions of the film worldwide. "I am absolutely devastated that a line from our movie, Monster Hunter, has offended some audience members in China" Anderson says in a statement provided to Deadline. "I apologize for any anxiety or upset that this line and its interpretation caused. Monster Hunter was made as fun entertainment and I am mortified that anything within it has caused unintentional offense. We have respectfully removed the line from the movie. It was never our intention to send a message of discrimination or disrespect to anyone. To the contrary - at its heart our movie is about unity."

The controversy became apparent to English-speaking game fans thanks to a thread on Twitter, where Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad posted some footage of the dialogue for the movie, and ran-through why audience members are unhappy. In the scene, one character asks another "What kind of knees are these?" following up with "Chi-knees." The pair are American soldiers, as the protagonists are a team of military recruits that get transported to the world of the games. As Ahmad explains, this joke has racial connotations due to a playground chant used to disparage people of Asian heritage in English-speaking countries.
