This is notable because Valve itself has not yet uploaded a full changelog for this mysterious update. We'll get to some of the bigger changes in a moment, but first, credit where credit is due: YouTuber Tyler McVicker spotted the Beta branch update and dove into the game to find out exactly what was changed. The Beta update makes several small but important changes to Half-Life 2, most of which seem geared toward making the game run and look as good as it possibly can on Valve's upcoming Steam Deck handheld PC. That changed recently, with the unannounced release of a new Beta update branch for Half-Life 2. The company might fix the occasional bug if its developers (who seem to work on whatever they please) feel like it, but that's about it. The beta might be a bit buggy with some rough edges, but that's par for the course with any beta.What just happened? Valve, and most other game developers, typically don't give much attention to its legacy titles, like Left 4 Dead, Portal, and the Half-Life series (barring Alyx). Most weapons now have support for two-handed aiming and manual reloading, with the build having just left private testing.
It's using AI upscaling to improve the textures while Source VR Mod Team is also creating new animations and hand poses to make Gordon's toppling of the Combine feel that much more fluid and immersive. RELATED: PlayStation VR 2 Needs To Launch With Half-Life Alyx If you thought the climatic Strider battle was tough in Alyx, just wait for 2's third act when you're battling dozens of them. Much like Alyx, you'll be able to explore City 17 through your own eyes, only now your eyes will be Gordon's, with HEV gloves, a crowbar, and far more sewers to dredge through. The mod does what it says on the tin, bringing Half-Life 2 into VR (thanks, PCGamesN). It's launching in September on a Friday, so either September 2, 9, 16, 23, or 30-pick your poison. The Half-Life 2 VR mod's public beta finally has a release date.
