NVIDIA makes PhysX open for game modders

NVIDIA just opened up their PhysX SDK and Flow software for everyone to use freely. They put all the code out there with a BSD-3 license. This means anyone can see exactly how the programs run special effects on graphics cards. Game makers will find it much easier to add cool stuff like bouncing objects, flowing water, and bendy materials into their games. The full CUDA code shows how PhysX speeds up these effects on your graphics card.

People who fix up old games benefit greatly from this move. They can create new ways for 32-bit games that use PhysX to work with the latest graphics cards, such as the RTX 50 Blackwell models. Many classic games need these fixes to run properly on new computers. NVIDIA hopes this will help their Remix project succeed. Remix aims to breathe new life into aging games by adding modern visual effects and higher-quality graphics.
