The tool promises to transform classic games into visually stunning experiences, complete with advanced features like ray tracing. At CES 2024, Nvidia’s GeForce Evangelist, Jacob Freeman, confirmed to IGN that this beta version isn’t just a teaser; it allows for a full-scale remastering of classic games from beginning to end.

This news is especially thrilling for those familiar with modding. Freeman emphasized that with the right modding skills, RTX Remix could be used to completely overhaul classic titles. The tool has already shown its potential in projects like the remastering of Half-Life 2 by Orbifold Studios, demonstrating the capabilities of RTX Remix in enhancing game visuals and overall experience.
Portal RTX and the in-development Half-Life 2 RTX, created using earlier versions of RTX Remix, offer glimpses into the tool’s prowess.
