Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update is Now Available, Adds Steam Deck Support and Half-Life: Uplink
Valve has released a new update for Half-Life to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Along with the legendary first-person shooter being available to claim free on Steam until November 20th, the update adds Steam Deck support, controller support and even the Half-Life: Uplink demo. If that weren’t enough, a one-hour documentary is live with the original development team. Check it out below.
Other new content includes four new Deathmatch maps – contamination, pool_party, disposal, and rocket_frenzy – and three maps available only on the Half-Life: Further Data CD, namely doublecross, rust_mill, xen_dm. New sprays, Steam Networking support for easier multiplayer, and even the original intro video with Valve are also available.
This is in addition to improvements for throwing grenade physics and satchel charge controls. Check out the full patch notes below. It’s worth noting that this will be the definitive version, with the original available in the beta branch “steam_legacy.” Those facing issues with mods or other features can revert to this build.
