The remastered Half-Life 2 demo, featuring cutting-edge ray-tracing technology, will be available on March 18 as part of NVIDIA's RTX Remix advancements.

NVIDIA's RTX Remix toolkit, used to remaster classic games with AI, ray tracing, and enhanced graphics, officially exits beta and is now fully released.
Half-Life 2 RTX, developed by Orbifold Studios using RTX Remix, reimagines the 20-year-old classic with ray-traced visuals, high-poly models, and advanced lighting effects.
The two-hour Half-Life 2 RTX demo, covering the Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt chapters, will launch on March 18 as a free DLC for Half-Life 2 owners on Steam.
New technologies like RTX Neural Shaders, RTX Volumetrics, and RTX Skin bring realistic lighting, fog effects, and lifelike textures to the remastered game.
The demo supports NVIDIA's latest DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation, delivering improved performance and visuals on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, with compatibility for RTX 30 and 40 Series.
