It seems as though Capcom has removed raytracing from Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake on Steam.
Players took to social media to share their discovery, and it's since been confirmed by thousands of players who are reporting that they, too, have noticed that raytracing has been removed when the games were updated during the week.
