The proof? The Valve Index-the costliest VR headset, today-has already sold out in Canada and the US. While the cost of entry is prohibitive-a good VR headset and a PC to run it will cost around a lakh-Valve’s pedigree may make this price worth paying. Fighting alien zombies and “headcrabs” on a monitor is scary enough fending them off in VR will take horror to the next level.

A VR exclusive that amazing is definitely a system seller. I also did 'windows key + P' a few times to make sure I was extending the display onto the Vive, not cloning it.

Make sure you launch SteamVR (with Direct Mode disabled) and then Half-Life 2. if it was I probably would have bought that instead of my Oculus Rift. What I was doing wrong is to launch Half-Life 2 without SteamVR running, which would let me get into the menus but launching the game it would be black. This is the first official game to explore the Half-Life universe since Portal-inspired VR experience The Lab, which released alongside the HTC Vive in April 2016.More importantly, this was the first time Half-Life received a full new entry since. Half Life VR should have been a launch title for the HTC Vive. With a VR headset and a motion-tracking controller, the game will let you move your fingers in a virtual world, reloading guns, solving puzzles, and immersing you like never before in the iconic Half-Life universe. In November 2019, Valve shocked the world by announcing Half-Life: Alyx, a virtual reality-based interquel set between the first two Half-Life games. You play as Alyx, a supporting character from Half-Life 2, who helps build a human resistance against the invaders. Half-Life: Alyx puts you back into the dystopian setting of City 17, in the aftermath of an alien invasion. With Half-Life: Alyx, Valve promises to do for VR what Apple did for touchscreen phones-drive technological adoption forward by creating a deluxe experience worth investing in. It supports VR headsets like the Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality Valve Software released the trailer and details for their new VR. Half-Life: Alyx (PC) is expected in March 2020. Half-Life: Alyx will be playable on the Valve Index, Oculus Quest and Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality.
