For the next two months only, Half Live game parts are free on Steam platform

With the expected launch next March of the new part of the famous video game "Half Life", which has been waiting for more than a decade, is approaching, the game developer, Valve, decided to dedicate copies of the original game, all for free, to all users on its "Steam" gaming platform, for the next two months. Just.

The list of free games - which anyone can get - includes the original Half Life game, Half Life 2, and the two extensions that came to the second part, Half Life 2: Episod One, and Half Live 2: Episod Two.

The only drawback here is that you will need to download games through the Steam platform - although this is not a big deal for most users - and you only have two months to do so. Then as soon as the new part of the game, Half Live: Alex, comes out next March, all of those games will return to their original price.

Anyone can download the Steam application to their computer, then open a new account on the Steam platform for free and log in to download the free games.

Why this generosity?
The main goal is to draw attention to the new part of the game (Half Life: Alex) whose game requires the use of compatible virtual reality glasses, which takes place before the events of Half Life 2 and its two extensions.

"Half Life events: Alex takes place before the events of Half Life 2 and its two extensions, but these games share the same characters and elements of the story," Falf said in a newsletter. "The Half Life: Alex team believes that the best way to enjoy the new game is to play the old parts first, especially Half Life 2 and expand it, and that's why we wanted to make achieving this as easy as possible."

It is reported that the last part of the Half Life series, Half Life: Episod Two, was released in 2007. The first part was released in 1998, yet fans of this game have been waiting for years for the release of a third part of it, something that has not been achieved until now. , Before the company surprised them last November with the announcement of the new part mentioned, which will be released in two months.

Although Half Life: Alex is not the third part of the game, and it is devoid of the presence of the main hero (Gordon Freeman) who fought monsters, aliens and soldiers in the previous parts, the company promotes it as an integrated game and its conclusion takes the same number of hours that the conclusion of Half Live 2 requires, as does It will feature many of the original game characters.

Nevertheless, Half Life fans: Alex will be limited to those who have compatible virtual reality glasses (such as Five Index, VR Five, HTC Five, Windows Max Reality, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest) along with a powerful personal computer.
