Styx: Blades of Greed arrives a full nine years after Shards of Darkness, and the jump to Unreal Engine 5 is noticeable. Lumen and Nanite handle global illumination and geometry streaming respectively, doing away with the frequent loading screens that broke up the flow in earlier entries. On the upscaling front, there is support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and Reflex, along with AMD FSR. There is no hardware ray tracing support, however—the game relies entirely on Lumen's software-based lighting solution.
