Ray-Tracing? Physics? Open Zones?

They did drop PS3 support with Stormblood, it would be the logical assumption that PS4/Xbox One support would eventually drop as well. People were speculating it would happen with DT but it would seem to not be the case, but it's extremely likely to happen at the release of the next expansion at the latest.

I would have never expected it to happen with DT. It takes years for people to slowly decide to upgrade things and there was a massive shortage of PS5s for a few years which has to be taken into account. But it would make sense for them to consider it for 8.0, because by then PS5 will technically have been out for about 6 years and PS4 for 13 years.

Currently, only about 50% of Playstation users have upgraded to PS5.

Yea the PS5 hasn't exactly been the most popular system, but with the graphics update quite reasonably increasing requirements it would've made sense for the older system to start losing support... But I don't mind them keeping them going for a few more years.
