Steam NVIDIA releases new Half Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute video with "Half Life 2 RTX" Steam page now live

​

Half Life 2 is one of the highest praised videogames of the new millennium, and many people worldwide have fond memories of the game, with many still replaying it and modding it to this day.

Many modern developers grew up with HL2, and it was the love for it that brought a group of them together creating Orbifold Studios, and with the brand new release of the RTX Remix technology by NVIDIA, Orbifold Studios announced a year ago a brand new remastered project for the original Half Life 2 titled "Half Life 2 RTX".

Today, NVIDIA's YouTube Channel released a brand new tribute video in celebration of Half Life 2's 20th Anniversary, in which the development team behind the remaster talk about the different aspects and implementations that they have worked on to bring this new project to life, which will be added to the original Half Life 2 as a free DLC upon release.

November 16th marks the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2. Back in 2004, Half-Life 2 left an unforgettable mark on a generation of gamers. Learn more about the development team at Orbifold Studios and their challenging journey to bring full ray tracing, remastered assets, and DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction to one of the greatest games of all time.

Half-Life 2 RTX is developed by Orbifold Studios. The modders are rebuilding materials with Physically Based Rendering (PBR) properties, adding extra geometric detail and leveraging NVIDIA technologies including full ray tracing, DLSS 3.5, Reflex, and RTX IO to deliver a fantastic experience for GeForce RTX gamers to this classic.

Half-Life 2 RTX is early in development and is a community effort looking to excite talented modders and artists everywhere.

Alongside the 20th Anniversary video, the Half Life 2 RTX Steam page is now live as well for those that want to wishlist the free DLC, although the RTX free DLC still doesn't have a set release date.
