A look into the history of Half Life 2's development, as part of the Half Life 2 20th Anniversary Update: https://half-life.com/en/halflife2/20th

SIGGRAPH 2000: Also known as the “Free TVs” demo, this was shown at the SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference, hot on the heels of the release of the original Half-Life. This is the highest quality video we’ve still got from this era of Half-Life 2’s development.

As part of the Steam Deck OLED announcement in November, we built a giant orb made out of Steam Deck OLEDs, and used them to provide the lighting for our launch trailer, which was all shot practically, in-camera. We also shot a bunch of footage in the orb, including this gameplay loop for http://steamdeck.com.

Steam Deck OLED Orb - Steamdeck.com Gameplay Loop

A few months ago we asked ourselves: Could we light the Steam Deck OLED launch trailer with nothing but Steam Deck OLEDs? The answer was yes, as long as we built a giant orb. Read about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/4118051100641390121

Dota 2: The New Frontiers Update

Tick rate no longer matters for moving, shooting, or throwing.
 
Sub-tick updates are the heart of Counter-Strike 2. Previously, the server only evaluated the world in discrete time intervals (called ticks). Thanks to Counter-Strike 2’s sub-tick update architecture, servers know the exact instant that motion starts, a shot is fired, or a ‘nade is thrown.
 
As a result, regardless of tick rate, your moving and shooting will be equally responsive and your grenades will always land the same way.

Counter-Strike 2: Moving Beyond Tick Rate

Cleaner, brighter, better. Maps in Counter-Strike 2 are receiving upgrades and overhauls which leverage all of the new Source 2 tools and rendering features.

Counter-Strike 2: Leveling Up The World

Smoke Grenades are now dynamic volumetric objects that interact with the environment, and react to lighting, gunfire, and explosions.

A Few Things Added To Steam Deck This Month

The first Steam Decks have been delivered!

Introducing Aperture Desk Job — a free playable short made for Valve's new Steam Deck, set in the universe of the modestly popular Portal games. http://aperturedeskjob.com

Desk Job reimagines the been-there-done-that genre of walking simulators and puts them in the lightning-spanked, endorphin-gorged world of sitting still behind things.

You play as an entry-level nobody on their first day at work—  your heart full of hope and your legs full of dreams, eager to climb that corporate ladder. But life's got other plans, and they all involve chairs.

Playable on the Steam Deck, Desk Job walks you through the handheld's controls and features, while not being nearly as boring as that sounds.

One of the most frequently asked questions we've received about Steam Deck is about the components inside it, and whether they're replaceable or upgradable. The answer is a bit more complicated than just a yes or no, so we've made a video to explain all the details. Spoiler alert: we DON'T recommend replacing parts yourself, but we still want you to have all of the relevant information about Steam Deck's components. 

Anyway, this is the first public look at what's inside the device, so we hope you enjoy it.
