While there were initially leaks of Minecraft's ray tracing on the Xbox Series X two years ago, Microsoft doesn't seem ready to roll this out any time soon.
Microsoft's statement did leave the door open for ray tracing to still allow it to appear in Minecraft for the Xbox Series X/S console at some point.
