Probaly the reason DMC 5 Special Edition will not have raytracing at launch.

Current Generation Hardware Speculation with a Technical Spin [post GDC 2020] [XBSX, PS5]

And from what Windows Central told the GDK will be finished post launch if I remember well.
That's the key. Will the vast majority of third-party developers optimize their titles towards these SSD/IO advantages? Or, simply rely upon the general performance of the SSD.
Is he sure? Because Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for PS5/XBSX is reportedly to have RT ready for the systems.

I suppose year two/year three of next-generation, third party will have optimized I/O for SSD. Probably only use it for loading and limiting themselve to slower disk maybe SATA SSD for streaming.
If NBA 2K1 and Avengers have done some optimization for loading faster on PS5, I suppose everyone will do the effort and loading times will decrease during the first three years of the generation.

I haven't kept up with XBS development environments, but aren't the GDK's a more general development environment for WIN/DX based platforms (i.e., PC, Surface, XBSX, XBSS, etc.)? If so, that would explain why earlier footage (e.g., Halo Infinite, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice 2, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, etc.) that was initially believed to be running on XBSX hardware, was actually running on PC hardware representative of XBSX specs.
That being said, if the GDK development environments between the PC and XBSX/S are virtually same and the stand-in PC hardware representative of XBSX/S hardware... this still doesn't explain the lack of first-party launch titles or the supposed lack of RT. If these games were running on representative hardware, then scaling up or down between WIN/DX platforms should be quite easy as Phil stated. Or, are there other complexities between these platforms making scaling (up / down) not so trivial?
This has already been discussed. So, enjoy some reading material...

neither have I. I just read through the post from Tommy below. That post explains a lot of the behaviour coming from MS here; the chart is the most telling from what I see here.
So we can see that they've had this GDK available for development and testing. But CERT and publishing did not happen until recently. That's rather telling how far back it is, perhaps the GDK was too ambitious here and having to support so many platforms from a tools perspective has made it challenging for both MS and the development studios.
Seems to be the case. Man, I had no idea that MS was that far behind with their development tools. Yikes...
Thanks again @AzBat
From whom? Developers or gaming enthusiast sites?
SMT scheduling should be firmly baked into WIN/DX development environments/toolsets, and multi-process relates to how multiple applications, plugins/extensions, and/or GPU related processes that are handled at a given moment.
The website(s) and folks who are not developers who read them. Specifically the part where it said:
- features like “Multi-process games in Game Core” will not arrive until after launch. There is a work-around for this in the current release, so fret not that this means games can’t be multi-threaded."
I got'cha...
I’m probably the only one here who cares about this, but...

Well blow me down with a feather if you'd asked me to choose one at gunpoint to be late with a full SDK I would not have been pointing at MS.
Was this not the same with the last generation, Xbo/PS4?
You should post the full tweet string or whatever they call it but anyway WatchDog is coming at launch and has been shown with what looks like raytracing running on the Series S in the Series S unveil video.
As for the GDK stuff, most consoles doesn't launch with their most optimized dev environment/tools/kits. GDK is moving to a more unified dev platform to allow devs to easily deploy games on Xbox platforms (Series, One, PC, Cloud) as easily as possible so it is understandable that it's not perfect atm but from what I have seen of the doc it has a workaround for most features not yet implemented properly.
