Artifact isn’t really a game that makes waves, nor does it seem likely to anytime in the near future, but that doesn’t mean Valve isn’t updating it or that it doesn’t still have its uses. Artifact is a Source 2 game, and as Valve continues to update it, sometimes the code of the game includes curious tidbits that could hint at possibilities in other Source 2 games (like DOTA 2 or Half-Life: Alyx for instance). Such could be the case with bits of code in the latest Artifact update that suggests ray-tracing and Nvidia RTX rendering could be in the works in Source 2.
