Crystal Dynamics’ Rise of the Tomb Raider is only a day away from its release on PC, and as is the case with major triple A game releases, the game is already out in the hands of some lucky gamers who have been sharing direct-feed screenshots and other details about it for days now. These new screenshots that recently emerged on the internet show detailed in-game environments and character detail that the PC version of the game boasts in comparison to the Xbox One version.

　　While the screenshots look absolutely fantastic, it should be noted that these were taken at a custom resolution, and using external tools, so it is unlikely that the game will look this good for all those who are planning to buy it on PC. The details about method and tools used to take the screenshots have been shared below, followed by the screenshot gallery itself.

　　Rendering: Custom resolutions @ ~40megapixel

　　Antialiasing: Two-pass colour-based offline AA

　　Methods: Free camera w/ FOV and rollIn-engine tonemapping and depth of field control

　　Tools: Debug build supplied by Crystal Dynamics, Assembly hacks for Aspect ratio correction, SRWE for high-resolution hotsampling

　　Of course, Rise of the Tomb Raider will offer much better visuals and texture detail on PC.
