Valve is celebrating the birthday of one of its most beloved games (and there are a lot of them to pick from) this weekend as it\u2019s the Half-Life 25th anniversary<\/strong>, and the original game is getting a big update.<\/p>\n Gordon Freeman\u2019s cosmic 1998 adventure became the stuff of legend, and Valve expanded upon it with Half-Life 2<\/a>, the Portal games, and the VR game Half-Life Alyx<\/a>. It\u2019s considered one of the most important shooters of all time. Now it\u2019s got a little better as it\u2019s receiving Steam Deck and controller support, lost missions, new multiplayer maps, and even some visual upgrades to suit modern PCs.<\/p>\n Valve also put out a documentary on YouTube that reunites the team behind the game. You can watch that here.<\/p>\n The game is currently free on Steam<\/a> if you\u2019ve somehow not got around to playing it.<\/p>\n
