The Half-Life series of games are now free-to-play on Steam until March 2020, Valve has today announced.

You’ll be able to play through the following titles for free up until that time:

  • Half-Life: Source
  • Half-Life Deathmatch: Source
  • Half-Life: Blue Shift
  • Half-Life: Opposing Force
  • Half-Life 2
  • Half-Life 2: Episode One
  • Half-Life 2: Episode Two

You can gain access to the above titles using this link.

The free-to-play period is in anticipation of the release of Half-Life: Alyx later in March.

“The games share characters and story elements,” Valve said. “The Half-Life: Alyx team believes that the best way to enjoy the new game is to play through the old ones, especially Half-Life 2 and the episodes, so we want to make that as easy as possible.”

Half-Life Alyx heads to Windows PC VR via Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality in March 2020.
