Little workers

Hidden Easter Eggs
Keep an eye out while you’re exploring as you’ll also find hidden treats like Easter Egg tributes to classic Christmas films.
Adventures galore
Adventure across frozen lakes and through snow-covered parts of the world to discover all that’s on offer.
Ray traced lighting
As you’d expect from an Nvidia crafted environment the RTX Winter World takes full advantage of ray tracing.
Small details
It’s the small details that make it really shine. Like the individually lit windows and carefully constructed buildings.
It’s for the kids
