Ray Tracing is Being Added to… GTA 1 with RTX Remix

Thanks to NVIDIA RTX Remix toolkit, the now-trendy ray tracing can be added to virtually any video game. Enthusiasts are already taking advantage of this — for example, bringing it to GTA 4. It’s one thing to modernize a game that’s nearly 20 years old. But what about 30? As it turns out, that’s possible too — and it’s been demonstrated with GTA 1.

Modder gabdeg is working on adding ray tracing to the very first installment of the Grand Theft Auto series. The project is still in development, and there’s currently no word on when it will be released. For now, those interested can check out a few screenshots and a frame-by-frame comparison showing the game with and without the new feature.
