New multiplayer maps including Contamination, Pool Party, Disposal, and Rocket Frenzy have been added.
Multiplayer maps from the special CD version, Half-Life: Further Data, released in 1999, have been brought back for play. These maps include Double Cross, Rust Mill, and Xen DM.
Engine graphics have been improved and now support widescreen monitors. Bugs related to lighting have been fixed, and software rendering is now supported on Linux.

Controller support has been added from the start, eliminating the need for additional configuration.
Steam Networking has been enhanced, making it easier for friends to join and play together.
Full support for playing on the Steam Deck has been implemented. The team has worked diligently to ensure the game is playable on the Steam Deck.
In addition to these updates, Half-Life is currently available for free on Steam. Normally priced at 189 baht, players can now claim their free copy on Steam.
