Brickadia is one path tracing game I have not heard about. Looks like it would be fun for pre-schoolers.

In 2021, they updated the game to support all UE4 RT effects, essentially path tracing the game.

Experimental RTX Ray Tracing Support​

We've implemented ray tracing support for the brick engine and packaged all the Unreal Engine ray tracing shaders with the game. This doesn't currently perform well enough for us to fully support it and add graphics options, but you can enable a preview of ray traced reflections, ambient occlusion, global illumination and shadows from the console.

They also added full Path Tracing.

Experimental RTX Path Tracing Renderer​

It's like an offline renderer available right from inside the game, for creating maximum quality renders of your builds. Taking several seconds to render a single image, you won't be using this mode to play, but it sure does make pretty screenshots!

Brickadia Alpha 5 Patch 5

Dynamic weather, the vast emptiness of space, fill paint, experimental ray tracing, tons of new cosmetics, engine upgrades, and more available now!

In 2023, they are planning to integrate a lighter form of Lumen running on UE5.1, citing huge performance gains vs UE4.

here is an intermediate step. I'm calling it Proto-Lumen. It's basically Lumen but all the off-screen info is still missing.

I believe it was a home grown solution ... from a DF review.
Mafia Definitive Edition doesn't deliver ray tracing as such, but a software-based solution is in place that produces surprisingly accurate results. It's described as ray-traced SSR, using cube-maps with multi bounce GI already factored in - something that is possible on current-gen GPUs. This uses screen-space marching as starting point, which is similar to the approach of most modern titles - using what's visible within the player camera to draw a reflection.

Mafia Definitive Edition goes one further, to squaeeze better results; it can trace a ray, to find a colour in a cube-map with high quality lighting data. This is then rendered at run-time to factor in the current weather and lighting, according to the team. From there, that colour is draw within the scene around the player - onto puddles or wet roads.

F1 23 is finally adding RTGI (DDGI) in the game. The game now supports RT shadows, reflections, transparency, ambient occlusion and global illumination.

I like how gradual Codemasters made the transition, in F1 21 they added RT shadows and reflections, in F1 22 they added ambient occlusion and transparency reflections, and in F1 23 they've now added global illumination.

Didn't Mafia Definitive Edition use a limited software implementation of ray tracing?
Click to expand...
They traced into a scene cube map which provided some marginally better results than just using cube maps for reflections. I wouldn't call that ray tracing - at least in what is considered RT right now. If we're talking about RT in general as just "tracing into some data structure" then a whole bunch of methods can be called "a limited form of RT" starting with POM in Crysis 2 for example.
 
DESORDRE is a PC game based on UE5.1 Nanite and Lumen, it's released on PC with support for Hardware Lumen reflections, and it's a very powerful implementation.

F1Ⓡ 23 Launching This Week With DLSS 2, Ray Tracing & Reflex

F1Ⓡ 23 is launching with DLSS 2, and DLSS 3 is coming in a post-launch update. Also, DLSS 2 is available this week in Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow and Layers of Fear. And take a first look at Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

Portal: Prelude RTX Available Today - A Free RTX Remix Mod Featuring Full Ray Tracing, NVIDIA DLSS 3 & NVIDIA RTX IO

Play the highest-rated Portal mod, remastered with full ray tracing, DLSS 3 and RTX IO, for free. Learn more about the enhancements, the first use of RTX IO, and watch the RTXON gameplay trailer in this launch article.
www.nvidia.com

Portal: Prelude RTX will feature both SER and OMM.

For Portal: Prelude RTX and future NVIDIA RTX Remix mods, the NVIDIA RTX Path Tracing SDK has been enhanced, improving denoiser performance and quality, which is particularly beneficial at lower resolutions, enabling gamers with older GeForce RTX GPUs to have a better experience.

Shader Execution Reordering (SER) dynamically recorganizes inefficient ray tracing workloads into considerably more efficient ones, further accelerating GeForce RTX 40 Series performance.

Opacity Micro Meshes (OMM) increase real-time performance and memory compression for complex geometry, further accelerating GeForce RTX 40 Series ray tracing performance, and with new CPU optimizations debuting in Portal: Prelude RTX, players receive even faster performance.
