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.
The current build focuses exclusively on two specific areas of the game. The modder overhauled the Prologue level and the Roscoe Street mission. These sections represent the early gameplay experience for players. The project remains in a very early stage of development. The creator explicitly describes the current build as a beta version. Users should expect potential visual bugs as the work continues.

The release provides a foundation for expanding path tracing to other levels. The modder notes that this progress may eventually allow playing other levels of Max Payne with Path Tracing.
