Modding has been a huge element of PC gaming since time immemorial. Now, the world of game mods might be about to experience one of its largest ever shake-ups, with Nvidia’s RTX Remix technology set to enter open beta later this month.
RTX Remix, which offers a suite of tools to allow players to remaster just about any classic game they put their mind to, will enter a full open beta phase on January 22. At that point, anybody with a compatible GeForce RTX graphics card will be able to download the tools and try out remastering for themselves.
While it isn’t a simple ‘point and shoot’ solution, Remix aims to be a helping hand in the creation of visual overhaul mods for classic PC games from many different eras. At a basic level, RTX Remix can be used to add ‘RTX features’ like Ray Tracing to old games – but beyond that, it simplifies the process of more significant, top-to-bottom remaster-style mods.
