Half-Life 2 RTX Half-Life 2 RTX - An RTX Remix Project is the second Source game to be built using RTX Remix. It, as the name implies, is a RTX revamp of the original Half-Life 2, similar to how Portal was revamped with Portal with RTX. Being developed by Orbifold Studios, it aims to revamp the entire game with RTX lighting, PBR textures, etc. This game was also promoted by Nvidia via their official YouTube channel.[1]
