The 25th anniversary of Half-Life is marked with a significant update, documented on Valve's new website. This update is more than just a patch to fix a few bugs. It includes making the game playable on Steam Deck with improved controls and UI.

New graphic and rendering options, including software rendering on Linux and widescreen field of view, have been added. The game defaults to the original models, a change that many players will appreciate.

New Multiplayer Maps and More

But that's not all! New multiplayer maps have been added to Half-Life, including three new ones that push the game engine to its limits. Also included is some content that didn't ship with the original game, like the unique Half-Life: Uplink demo. Some character models from pre-release Half-Life builds are now available in multiplayer too.

Full Patch Notes and Earlier Leaks

The full patch notes cover almost every part of the game, including some rebalancing of the multiplayer weapons. This comprehensive update is a testament to Valve's commitment to its games. If players dislike any of these changes, they can still play the previous version of Half-Life on Steam.
