Nvidia Unleashes Portal: Prelude RTX – A Raytraced Delight!

Nvidia just dropped a massive bombshell with the announcement of Portal: Prelude RTX, a remastered version of the beloved 2008 mod. But hold onto your hats, folks, ’cause this ain’t your grandma’s remaster! Nvidia went all out, adding stunning updated visuals, raytracing, and even DLSS 3 support. Talk about a visual feast for the eyes!

Let’s dive deeper into the rabbit hole, shall we? To start, Nvidia pulled a sneaky move by making Portal: Prelude RTX one of the first games to harness the power of RTX Input/Output (RTX I/O). If you’re scratching your head, allow me to enlighten you. RTX I/O is a game-changing technology that accelerates storage and aims to reduce those agonizingly long loading times. Say goodbye to bathroom breaks mid-loading screen, my friends! Nvidia’s got your back.

Portal: Prelude, released way back in 2008, captured the hearts of countless players as an unofficial prequel to the iconic Portal series. Packed with a brand-new storyline, fully voiced NPCs, and innovative gameplay mechanics, it was a mod that truly stood out from the pack. Now, imagine all of that goodness, but crank it up to eleven with the addition of glorious raytracing and DLSS. Mind officially blown!

And guess what? Brace yourself, because this next bit is gold. Portal: Prelude RTX is unique amongst its remastered brethren. How, you ask? Well, it’s the first of its kind to be crafted entirely by talented modders using the incredible RTX Remix tool. Kudos to Nvidia for empowering the modding community and giving them the tools to sprinkle that sweet raytraced magic on our favorite classics.

But wait, there’s more! The grand unveiling of Portal: Prelude RTX is happening today at 3 pm ET. That’s right, folks! We’re just a few tantalizing hours away from immersing ourselves in a remastered extravaganza. And here’s the cherry on top: if you already own the original Portal on Steam, you can grab Portal: Prelude RTX absolutely free. Talk about a win-win!
