What is TR1X?

TR1X is a lovingly rebuilt, enhanced version of the original Tomb Raider (1996) engine – a passion project that brings Lara's very first adventure into the modern age. It preserves the soul of the classic while adding dozens (and dozens!) of improvements, fixes, and optional tweaks. Whether you're a purist or an experimenter, TR1X lets you play your way.

Features at a glance

  • Smoother UI with scaling, PS1‑style options, and improved health bars
  • Expanded movement set (jump‑twists, somersaults, swimming, wading, TR2+ mechanics!)
  • Full 60 FPS support; powerful photo mode
  • Tons of bug fixes from the original game (goodbye, crashes on level end with Action key held!)
  • Customizable controls, targeting modes, and native controller support
  • Deep modding support with developer console, and external gameflows
  • Linux & macOS builds
