Like several other classic games over the last few years, Portal is getting a big graphical update. Available on July 18, Portal Prelude RTX overhauls the game and adds several new features that Nvidia GPU owners can take advantage of, including full ray tracing, performance improvements via DLSS 3, minimized system latency through Nvidia Reflex, and faster load times for textures through Nvidia RTX IO.
This version of the game will be available as a free download on Steam and playable for anyone who owns the original version of Portal, and new GeForce Game Ready drivers will be available to complete the transformation. An unofficial Portal prequel first released in 2008, Portal: Prelude is a community remaster that is set before the time of GLaDOS and offers a more challenging experience that’s composed of 19 new test chambers, new advanced gameplay mechanics, and a fully voiced story with NPCs.
