In terms of computer programs, PhysX certainly has a very long history. Originating back to 2004, the physics engine was acquired by Nvidia in 2008. Since then, it has been a regular staple for many developers in their game programming. In fact, for many AAA-releases, you’d be hard pushed to find games that don’t utilize this software.
With it being essentially an ‘opensource’ program for the last year, however, Nvidia has announced that a brand new version (PhysX 5.0) is set for release at some point next year! Game developers will, undoubtedly, be keeping a close eye on this!
At the time of writing, no exact release date for PhysX 5.0 has been given. All we do know is that Nvidia has confirmed that, based on the current progress, it will be available at some stage in 2020.
In releasing a demo video (that you can watch below), Team Green is, however, keen to show you what they’ve been working on. Let’s check it out!
Below you can find a list of the confirmed key features that will form PhysX 5.0.
Although not released yet, if you are anxious to learn more about Physx (and to have it bookmarked ready to download) then your best bet would be to visit the official Nvidia website page for the technology. You can find that via the link here!
