The Half-Life 2 RTX hashtag is related to the Orbifold Studios' RTX upgrade of the original title. The game now has a Steam listing (you can already wishlist it), but the release date is still unknown. For those unfamiliar, here is how the studio describes the project:
Our goal with Half-Life 2 RTX is to deliver a new way to experience Valve's classic, using cutting-edge rendering tech to bring the game to life in a way never before possible. At the same time, we'll be remastering all of the game's assets, to be made available to the community for free.
Half-Life 2 RTX was announced in August 2024. Nvidia used it to showcase the capabilities of RTX Remix, Nvidia's set of tools for remastering classic games and equipping them with modern GPU tech, like real-time ray tracing. You can learn more about RTX Remix here.
