We're excited to see MOD developers get wider recognition for the hard work they have done, and we hope to support more MOD teams in the future.
Also, these MODs now take advantage of Steamworks, which provides stat tracking and tighter integration with the Steam community. In March 2020, that legacy continues as Half-Life: Alyx pushes VR. From Valves 1998 debut game onward, the series has been at the forefront of immersive action and storytelling. Once installed, these MODs will appear in your "My Games" list and will receive automatic updates just like other games on Steam. The Half-Life saga is the story of Gordon Freeman, a physicist who finds himself at the center of resistance to an alien invasion that threatens the future of humanity. As always, owners of any Source game will be able to download and play all of these MODs for free. The first five MODs to ship on steam will be Age of Chivalry, D.I.P.R.I.P., Insurgency, Synergy, and Zombie Panic.
