Modder ‘merendas235′ has released a 4.4GB HD Texture Pack for the original Prey game. In other words, this HD Mod is for Human Head Studios’ Prey game that came out in 2006 and used id Tech 4, and not for Arkane’s Prey game.
This mod uses AI upscaling techniques in order to overhaul all of the game’s textures. The result is better and sharper textures that retain the art style of the original versions.
In order to showcase the improved textures, merendas235 shared the following comparison screenshots. Vanilla screenshots are on the left, whereas the modded screenshots are on the right.
You can download the HD pack from here. I also suggest using Marty McFly’s Reshade Ray Tracing Mod which will enhance the game’s lighting.
Lastly, you can find below two videos, showcasing Prey 2006 with these new textures and the Reshade Ray Tracing Mod.
Have fun!

Waste of fxcking time and bandwidth. Try the Sharpen+ filter from freestyle list and you will achieve much better results without downloading some cheap and filtered textures.
clearly you have no idea about how AI upscale textures and why results are much much better then simple sharpen filters.
You are fxcking tarded, did you even see the texture comparison Johnny Boy posted? 1. They are oversharpened causing lots of jagged edges, 2. there is a cheap bevel and emboss filter applied, 3. Sharpen+ from nvidia is the most advanced thing I’ve ever seen. If you aren’t a pleb with a AMD gpu go check it out for yourself and it gives a fine, detailed image without crappy artifacts.

This is a fine game, i just finished 1 month ago and it’s fun, it doesn’t waste any time with bullshit so it goes straight to the point, interesting mechanichs, cool and bizarre art style, original weapon desings, and it has a few very cool moments. Idk why it’s so forgotten
game is cult classic, its not forgotten it was just killed by typical corporate BS and Pray (the new one) made sure it stays dead.
That E3 2011 trailer with Rusty Cage by Johnny Cash made me realize I need a space western bounty hunting game in my life badly.
“Also, did you know Prey 2 was entirely completed and playable from start to finish when Bethesda canned it?”
i doubt thats true. if true, it needs to be leaked.
I wonder how big of an FPS hit is this Reshade Raytracing. EDIT: so the Reshade RTX mod is hidden behind a paywall.
I guess it will forever be in beta phase.
RTGI is a massive waste of resources. Just by using the default settings expect your GPU to have 30-50% increased usage. Increase the amount of “rays” or tick on more useless settings and GPU just gets torn more. The outcome doesn’t even look good because it’s just AO which already looks good through other various and much cheaper methods. I compared RTGI to the free MXAO shader and there was basically no difference. Only thing RTGI does is make everything lighter which makes no sense because shadows aren’t white.
There’s also a reflection setting but since reshade is trash and made for rxtards who can’t appreciate the original visuals it will assume that every material is reflective so you’ll have trees casting crystal clear reflections on dry dirt. No way going around that. Oh and it’s not really ray tracing either, everything is based on screen space.
If I had paid $5 for that crappy shader I’d rather have myself get robbed on the street. You can find it on the internet for free if you know where to look. But you will be disappointed should you choose to go after it.
>Oh and it’s not really ray tracing either, everything is based on screen space.
stop. you were making sense up to this point. yes, it is ray-tracing. rays are being traced.
It’s ray marching but let’s not get too technical about this screen spaced garbage and reshade’s awful limitations
There’s a website that rips every file on Patreon and you can download it for free. But i forgot the name. Just google it.
A true classic and underrated game. I love it. Even back then when it was released it looked pretty awesome. And still does today. Many textures still hold up very well!
You can still get steam keys for this game dirt cheap on G2A. Can’t buy the game on steam anymore. Pretty decent game.
Now if only I could get EAX to work on this game like I did in the other EAX enabled games…
ahhhh… good old days when amerimutt games were made by actual heterosexual males with no mental health issues.
I’ve been in this industry for decades. This industry never had issues. It had fricking SUBSCRIPTIONS. Of drama, toxic behavior, social disorders, and sheer arrogance. It’s actually gotten better, over the years, with notable setbacks.
A mod that unlocks the framerate like that one for Quake IV would be great, the game has an atrocious frame pacing due to it forced 60 fps lock.
As for the textures they’re too sharp, i prefer smoother textures with less jaggies and artifacts to be honest, especially if you take the file size into account
The modder doesnt care. Thats why he left the framerate in the config at 30 and hes clueless what fixedtic_1 does.
An other one that greatly benefits of Raytracing
The real Prey. Still hurts how they ended it on that cliffhanger. Such a solid game that aged well in my opinion. Gameplay is still a lot more creative than most games coming out today.
A gem of a FPS….love this gmae!
This could have been good but the textures are sharpened way too much. There is a fine line between sharp and distracting. Most textures are made to be bland and fade together in the background while some like the chalk board in the first photo should be sharper. When you simply upscale them all indiscriminately you destroy the balance. Also it looks like the modder even increased the saturation. The chrome looking objects instead look green or blue. Very poor.
So, I replayed this game some 1-2 months ago, after last playing it 15 years ago. I looked up for mods before replaying it. The variant of Sikkmod available for it didn’t work and some other mod make it look weird, so I played it vanilla. There was unfortunately, no HD texture mods.
Of course after I wait 15 years and nothing happens, a mod releases 2 months AFTER I replay it.
Game is still brilliant.
I hate that you guys removed the gallery view when viewing images on your site.
His 4.3GB texture mod was made using standard model auto Gigapixel 4x. Which is why my 24.3GB mod thats at the brink of making the engine crash that also has a lot of hand work just absolutely obliterates this modders lazy work. He has since pulled the plug, and good riddens. Lazy sh*t like this wastes my time.

Compare the faces. His look awful. Pure trash.

Your website is a scam. We have had the ability to patch any x86 game in the universe since at least 2010. Why is the below an actual article? Do you just find any random sh*t and publish it because why bother finding the most Elite iteration, or actual news?

Your personality issues are so bad that I don’t even want to try your mod.
this game is abandonware , you can’t buy the game from steam
the game is present on the platform but has been hidden in the store due to a rights issue between Microsoft, 2K , id software and Bethesda
and you must buy a key from grey sites like kinguin.
Steam ran out of keys and sold them all and since we don’t know who exactly owns the game, they blocked the sale by no longer generating new keys.
and I have the same problem with wolfenstein 2009 published by activision.
