News: Quake II RTX will be released on June 6th, 2019. If you have a GeForce RTX graphics card, or other capable hardware, you can experience the first 3 levels of the game for free, fully remastered with path-traced graphics and a variety of other enhancements. And if you own a copy of Quake II, you can play the campaign in its entirety, and play against others in online multiplayer. How to get Quake II RTX: On June 6th, at 6am PT, Nvidia will release Quake II RTX as a direct download on their website.

If you have the original Quake II release, download and install Quake II RTX from their website, run the installer, and point it to the full copy of Quake II when prompted so it can copy over the full game’s levels and assets.

i'm not able to find Quake II in any store though. I have the first one on GOG, but the second... it seems to be gone everywhere.

It's on steam.

Glad that it finally released. Would have preferred Q1 but Q2 will do.
