If you buy a Vive Cosmos in the coming days or weeks, you’ll be getting a code in the mail that will give you HLA for free as well. If you own a Valve Index, this game is going to end up in your game library for free. Not everyone will have to pay for this game. There will be some interactions inside of the game that are exclusive to the Valve Controllers, but outside of that, you won’t be hindered in the game if you aren’t rocking with the Valve headset and exclusive controllers. There are enough headsets that are now working with Steam that you can nearly assume that your very own headset is going to work with the game. It will be playable on all SteamVR headsets, which is an ever-growing library. The game is a VR exclusive, and not a Valve Index exclusive like many have thought. You will see yourself playing as Alyx Vance inside of City 17, a city where the Combine has taken over.


This Alyx game will be a prequel to Half-Life: 2, a game that was released over 16 (!) years ago. This has been a long wait for avid VR fans, but it has been an even longer wait for Half-Life fans. The game is released in less than 72 hours, something that everyone has known is coming for a while. You won’t be able to play it until Monday, but at least you can have the game in your library until Monday when it is finally ready to be played.
