The Half-Life 2 RTX demo is now available

Just as promised, Orbifold Studios has just released the demo for Half-Life 2 RTX. It lets you try out this classic FPS with modernized textures, lighting and shadows.

It can be downloaded free of charge on Steam. However, you'll need a copy of Half-Life 2 to try it out. It should also be noted that a computer with a good configuration is mandatory. An RTX 3060 Ti and an Intel i7-8600 with 16 GB RAM are required to play in 1080p at 30 FPS.

However, a machine with an RTX 4070 graphics card and an Intel i7-10700 is recommended to achieve 1080p definition at 60 FPS. Finally, playing in 4K at 144 FPS requires an RTX 5080 (with DLSS), an Intel i7-12700K and 32 GB RAM.

The demo is around 50 GB.
