Digital Foundry | Portal with RTX kicks off a new retro ray tracing revolution
RTX Remix opens the door to a wealth of PC classics receiving path-traced upgrades.
Portal with RTX is an absolute triumph, not just for its masterful use of lighting and cutting-edge technology, but also in how it works - which borders on black magic. This new take on the Valve classic is built on a new framework from Nvidia called RTX Remix, which essentially hijacks older PC games built on a fixed function rendering path, replacing rasterisation with full path tracing.

Feature | Understanding the pull of 'undemanding' games
"Digging for the mind."
I think I'm afraid of commitment. When I was a child, it was a small matter to sit in front of the Nintendo 64 for hours. Time meant nothing to me; now, it's all I think about. I look at upcoming games, at the hundreds of hours of playtime required, and I cannot fathom where to find time to actually play videogames.

Ahead of the game's January 2023 release, Square Enix has released a lengthy playable sample on PS5, allowing players to complete a variety of content in an open-world space. We were interested to see whether the demo lived up to the promise of initial media and also how the six visual modes compare.
