PC game modding is colossal - over 10 billion game mods are downloaded each year. Mods enhance graphics as faster GPUs are released, extend a game's lifespan with new content, and expand their audience with total gameplay conversions. With NVIDIA RTX Remix , we're enabling modders to remaster their favorite classic games with full ray tracing (also known as path tracing), NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex, modern physically-based rendering (PBR) assets, and generative AI texture tools. Starting now all modders can download the NVIDIA RTX Remix Open Beta , for free, from here .
RTX Remix has already delivered stunning remasters in NVIDIA's own Portal with RTX , and the modder-made Portal: Prelude RTX . Now, Orbifold Studios is using RTX Remix to develop Half-Life 2 RTX: An RTX Remix Project , a community remaster of one of the highest-rated games of all time.
