Half-life: Alyx gets 40 percent off for the first time

Valve celebrates the anniversary of the launch of Half-life: Alyx by offering the best price yet on the VR-exclusive game on Steam. Usually $ 60 (and worth every penny), you can pick it up for $ 36, with a 40 percent discount that lasts until Wednesday, March 31st. If you are looking for a new VR game to sink your teeth into, it is worth playing for many reasons. If the fact that it serves as the sequel to Half-life 2 is not enough for you, it’s the total package for a VR game, with fantastic storytelling and graphic and immersive gameplay that makes a VR headset worth it.

Valve continues to provide free copies of Half-life: Alyx for people who buy its Index VR headphones, but it’s a good price for everyone else. This game needs a solid game computer to make the most of it, but luckily you are no longer has to use a wired VR headset to experience the game (though it remains the easiest option).

If you own the Oculus Quest or Quest 2, you can purchase the Virtual Desktop app at the Oculus Store, which lets you stream the game via Wi-Fi from your computer to the headset. The app is extra $ 20 on top of the cost of this game, but it’s a cheap way to get a space-scale VR headset that, when connected wirelessly to your computer, any PC-VR can play game you have installed – Half-life: Alyx included. And I think it’s so worth it.
