Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC has finally received the RT upgrades to achieve feature parity with the current generation console versions, almost three years since they arrived on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. The wait was worth it as scalability is impressive and the game also includes the ability to toggle ray traced global illumination - which may well hint at the kind of RT features we can expect to see in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
Early last year, the first widely available multi-gig broadband was announced for the UK market, offering download speeds up to 1.6Gbps over the Openreach FTTP network.

In my opinion, expectations from this device should be tempered and we should think of it more as one further step down the road that'll see Xbox merge in some way with Windows - a significant undertaking, but a crucial one that needs to be proved out and battle-hardened before next generation hardware arrives in the next few years.
