The abundance of talent in the Dota 2 Workshop continues to prove far too vast to fit within a single offering of the Collector's Cache, so this frosty Diretide season welcomes a second round of treasure to keep your heroes bundled up tight.

The Diretide 2022 Collector's Caches I & II are available for $2.49 each, and both will remain on sale until January 12, 2023. All items in the Caches are untradeable and unmarketable, except for the ultra rare Tiny and Chaos Knight sets. Unboxing 14 of these treasures will automatically grant you 36 Battle Levels, and the odds of receiving a bonus rare item will increase with each one you open. You can also recycle any unwanted items for 2 Battle Levels.

Thank you to all of the artists that dedicate their talents to each Workshop Call to Arms, as well as the entire Dota 2 community that embraces these creative efforts. We wish all of you a very merry Diretide, and a happy new year!

Portal with RTX is now available, and it’s free for anyone who owns Portal! To play, you’ll need to go here to add it your library.

Developed by NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios, Portal with RTX completely reimagines Portal’s graphics with full ray tracing and other graphical improvements that boost immersion and graphical realism. In Portal with RTX, you can experience realistic lights that bounce off of every surface, and cast reflections on every object. Light even shines through portals!

If you aren’t familiar with ray tracing, it’s a method of graphics rendering that simulates the behavior of light. When playing a ray-tracing capable game on a compatible GPU, lighting, reflections, and optical effects appear much more realistic.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the technology behind Portal with RTX, you can check out NVIDIA’s announcement.

You can learn more about Portal with RTX on the Steam store page.
