With the 20th Anniversary of Half-Life 2 just around the corner, the team at Orbifold Studios shares details and showcases their project, Half-Life 2 RTX.
Half-Life 2 is a first-person shooter and the sequel to Half-Life, released in 2004. Developed and published by Valve, the long-awaited sequel quickly captured the hearts of many, revolutionizing the gaming industry. Its cutting-edge graphics, facial animations, and interactive physics powered by the Source Engine were game-changers.
The game’s success also owes much to Valve‘s decision to encourage modding. Even 20 years after its launch, modding remains alive. Over the years, fans have created numerous projects, from the fan-made Black Mesa to the recent Project Borealis. Now, Orbifold Studios is bringing HL2 into the modern era with Ray Tracing.

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the legendary Half-Life 2 (HL2), the team at Orbifold Studios released a new trailer showcasing their ambitious project, Half-Life 2 RTX. This project is a heartfelt tribute to one of the most beloved games of all time, updated with Ray Tracing while preserving the original experience.
A fan-driven initiative made for fans, the team shares their passion for HL2 and their mission to awe a new generation, just as the original did for them. With the support of Nvidia’s RTX Remix, this project is coming to life. In fact, it has gained official recognition with a dedicated Steam page and is now available to wishlist.
Orbifold Studios is a team formed by modders behind projects like Half-Life 2: VR, Half-Life 2: Remade Assets, Project 17, and Raising the Bar: Redux. The trio of Christopher Workman, “Wormslayer,” and David Driver-Gomm shared insights about the project’s ideas and development. As well as the immense contributions from the community, which even includes gaming industry veterans.
The foundation of the project is Nvidia’s RTX Remix, a modding platform also used for Portal RTX. It allows the team to overcome old engine limitations and introduce modern features. Half-Life 2 RTX includes full Path Tracing, with fully rendered reflections and modernized textures tailored for each material.
This work-in-progress project is steadily becoming a reality and will be completely free for owners of Half-Life 2. Don’t miss the chance to add this classic to your Steam library at the best price, while also celebrating the 20th Anniversary.
