We have some new rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 that raise expectations even higher.
Half-Life 2 RTX Is in Development by a Group of Modders, Will Support Ray Tracing, DLSS 3, RTX IO

During a pre-Gamescom 2023 press briefing, NVIDIA announced that Half-Life 2 RTX is now in development. The project is being handled by four of the top Half-Life 2 modding teams, who have been approached by NVIDIA and have decided to come together as Orbifold Studios to remaster the game with the RTX Remix creator toolkit that they received in early access.
Just like Portal Prelude: RTX, this will support ray tracing, DLSS 3, and RTX IO. We have already seen a work-in-progress Half-Life 2 path tracing mod made with RTX Remix, but this is on another level, as you can see in the image gallery below.
The remaster's project has just started, though, and the team is awaiting reinforcements. If interested, head to nvidia.com/HalfLife2RTX to join the effort.
During the Q&A portion of the press briefing, I asked if there were any updates on the public availability of the RTX Remix creator toolkit. RTX Remix Product Manager Nyle Usmani replied that NVIDIA will continue to provide early access to more and more creators, just like they are doing with this project, but there's no ETA on a public launch yet.
Half-Life 2 RTX is just one of the many announcements shared by NVIDIA at Gamescom 2023, such as DLSS 3.5, newly announced RTX/DLSS games, newly announced GeForce NOW games, and improvements to the Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) powered by NeMo SteerLM.
