Nvidia has announced that its graphically enhanced upgrade Portal RTX is arriving on December 8.

Revealed in a blog post, the December release date marks a small delay from the company’s original November launch plan but fans still only have another week or so to wait.

The free DLC for Portal upgrades the 2007 puzzle game with ray tracing and remade high resolution textures. DLSS2 allows for full ray tracing while Nvidia’s latest DLSS 3 technology improves the frame rate 2.8 times over for those who own an RTX 40-series graphics card.

Portal RTX was announced during Nvidia’s GTC keynote in September alongside RTX Remix, the tool used to remaster the game with ray tracing.

Nvidia said the tool would also be made available so players could upgrade other games, but it’s unclear if this will launch alongside the Portal update or be released later.

In our 8/10 review of Portal, IGN said: “The idea behind Portal ends up being more brilliant than Portal itself. Regardless, we definitely had a lot of fun with what is there and appreciate the level of polish and thought that went into the presentation.”

The Little Mermaid - Official Teaser Trailer

The Little Mermaid – Official Teaser Trailer

Check out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.
