This is no doubt to ensure the game looks and plays well on the Steam Deck’s resolution. Most notable is the HUD scaling option that changes the HUD to fit whatever resolution the game is being played at. Other than fixes, there are also new features coming to the game. The update was noted by YouTuber, Tyler McVicker who offers some insight into the update in the video embedded above.Īccording to McVicker, the beta branch version of Half-Life 2 (available to anyone who wants to download and test it out via the Beta option on Steam) includes a host of bug fixes that have been around for a long time. Reported by Natalie Clayton of PC Gamer, Half-Life 2 has received an update to address a few bugs, add in some supports, and presumably improve the experience for the Steam Deck.
This update is presumably in preparation for the release of the Steam Deck. This update, which is currently in beta, looks to crush bugs, offer more resolution options, adds support for Vulkan, and more. It’s almost been 20 years since Half-Life 2 released and now Valve is working on a new update.
