Known officially as Half-Life 2 RTX: An RTX Remix Project, everything from lighting to shadows to assets is getting an upgrade. Interestingly, while the project is well underway, the team of modders are recruiting, so if you have any experience in creating mods or 3D art, then you are encouraged to apply via the Half-Life 2 RTX website.

Developed by four of Half-Life 2's top mod teams, who are now working under the banner of Orbifold Studios, Half-Life 2 RTX is described as a «community-made remaster» of the beloved 2004 video game. The team is made up of people who previously worked on Half-Life 2: VR, Half-Life 2: Remade Assets, Project 17, and Raising the Bar: Redux.

The goal of the project is to allow the community to experience Valve's classic by «using cutting-edge rendering tech to bring the game to life in a way never before possible». Once complete, it will be available to play for free.
«Using the latest version of RTX Remix, the modders are rebuilding materials with Physically Based Rendering (PBR) properties, adding extra geometric detail via Valve’s Hammer editor, and leveraging NVIDIA technologies including full ray tracing, DLSS 3, Reflex, and RTX IO to deliver a fantastic experience for GeForce RTX gamers,» wrote Nvidia technical marketing content editor Andrew Burnes in a blog post.
