Remedy Entertainment has released a new modification for the classic title Max Payne. The update introduces an RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod developed by the modder Neo_minigan. This release marks the third major path tracing effort for the game. Previous attempts to add similar technology stalled after more than a year of development. The modder 'Neo_minigan' released a third RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod that overhauls the Prologue and Roscoe Street levels of Max Payne.
