November 16, 2024 is the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2, one of the biggest, most enduring videogames of all time. To celebrate the big birthday, Valve has released a 20th Anniversary Update for the game, which adds Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and Episode 2 to the base game, along with all new commentary tracks featuring the original HL2 development team. he Half-Life 2 episodic add-ons are available directly from the game's main menu, but even better, players will automatically advance to each new expansion after completing the previous one, essentially turning them into one big, continuous game. If you don't already have Half-Life 2 for some reason, The Orange Box is currently on sale for 90% off on Steam, which takes it down to $2. And Half-Life 2? It's 100% off until 10 am PM/1 pm ET on November 18. You won't regret it. (thanks Void!)
There's a lot more than just a mash-up of old Half-Life 2 games here. The developer commentary, similar to the interactive commentary mode included with the Half-List 2: Lost Coast add-on, gets the gang back together "to record brand new commentary tracks for the whole game."
On top of that, you can get a deep-dive look at Half-Life 2's development courtesy in a new, two-hour-long 20th anniversary documentary, covering everything from near-bankruptcy to the infamous hack, the birth of Steam, and the famously never finished Episode 3—there's even prototype footage.
