“Ray tracing is the technology that is defining the next generation of PC games, and it’s fitting that Quake II is a part of that.” “We are giving Quake II back to gamers with a bold new look, as Quake II RTX,” said Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. Gamers that already own Quake II can experience the whole game in its entirety, including multiplayer deathmatch and cooperative multiplayer modes, all fully path traced. Quake II RTX includes the first three single-player levels of the beloved PC gaming classic. The result is a stunning new look for id Software’s Quake II, one of the world’s most popular games, originally launched in 1997. Quake II RTX is the world’s first game that is fully path-traced, a ray-tracing technique that unifies all lighting effects such as shadows, reflections, refractions and more into a single ray-tracing algorithm. SANTA CLARA, Calif., J(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - NVIDIA today announced that Quake II RTX, published by the company’s LightSpeed Studios, is now available on Steam and as a free download.
