Valve updated Half-Life 2 UI ahead of Steam Deck launch
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
With the upcoming release of the Steam Deck console, Valve has been quietly tweaking games to work with the device.
The released beta update for the classic Half-Life 2 introduced a completely redesigned interface, adapted for the small screen and interaction with the device.
The patch was spotted by a Twitter user going by the handle Gabefollower. As shown in the published material, the UI received large icons scaled up to high resolutions and a new tab design that is easier to navigate using a touchpad.
As a reminder, the original version of Half-Life 2 features a windowed UI similar to the Windows interface.
You can check out the new interface yourself in the HL2 properties on Steam. You need to select the “beta updates” option in the “Betas” tab and add “-gamepadui” to the launch options field.
