I’m not 100% sure, just basing off observation since I don’t own the game yet, the oblivion remaster seems to have always on ray tracing. On the different videos I’ve seen showcasing the game, in the settings there’s options for different lumen settings. But they’re never off when you put it on lowest settings. It’s either low or high for lumen. I think that explains the not so favorable performance on steam deck for most people.
I’d love my speculation to be proven wrong. So if anyone has the game and can post a screenshot with the lumen completely turned off, without the use of external tools or modding, that would be great.
It’s weird seeing free game associated with subscription. I’d probably say it’s complimentary. I mean technically it could be free if someone else in the family is paying for Amazon prime and you’re just reaping the benefits of prime gaming.
