Get ready for a flood of awesome new RTX Remix mods. Nvidia announced at Computex that it's offering up over $50,000 in prizes through ModDB for aspiring game developers who make a mod with RTX Remix. The contest has already started, and to enter, you just need to upload your RTX Remix mod to ModDB. Even better, RTX Remix is broadly available to developers after Nvidia released the app out of beta access in March of this year.

$50,000 in prizes for great RTX Remix mods

Good for developers, even better for PC gamers

It makes sense for Nvidia to hold a contest like this now that RTX Remix is broadly available. Nvidia's modding platform was first introduced in 2022 alongside Portal RTX, and it's grown considerably since then. We've seen it in action in Half-Life 2 RTX, and Nvidia has continued to add its latest rendering features to the platform, including DLSS 4 and the neural rendering features available on RTX 50-series GPUs. Nvidia itself has partnered with developers to release a few games through RTX Remix, but the modding community has taken the tool much further.

On the MobDB page for RTX Remix, there are hundreds of mods available. Not all of those are full game mods, mind you, but there's quite a selection of classic PC games. There are mods in progress for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Battlefield 2, Stalker Shadow of Cernobyl, Doom II and III, and Arx Fatalis, and that's just to name a few. Nvidia says that over 100 RTX Remix mods have been finished and released, and there are over 350 in development; a figure that you can easily verify with the ModDB page.

In addition to the mod contest, Nvidia is giving developers some inspiration. The original Portal RTX project is getting a new update that adds both DLSS 4 support and Nvidia's Neural Radiance Cache. Just like the original mod, this is a free update available to anyone who already owns Portal on Steam.
