The VR Mod version of Half-Life 2: Episode One will be available to anyone who owns Episode One already. It should play the same as the Half-Life 2: VR Mod, which enteredpublic betaback in September, letting you move around freely, pick stuff up with your hands, and cycle through weapons with a snazzy floating radial menu. The whole project to convert Half-Life 2 and its episodes into VR is a voluntary one, but I gather the Source VR Mod Team areaccepting donations in the form of coffee.

“Unlike Valve’s spit-and-paper version of Half-Life 2 VR, this is a far more comprehensive conversion, adding touch controls, reworked weapons that function with said controls, VR-compatible menus, and so much more,” he said. “If you own a VR headset, it’s almost as much of a must-play asHalf-Life: Alyxitself.”

You can grab the Half-Life 2: VR Mod for free onSteam. There’s no firm date for Episode One’s release yet, but you should be able to play it sometime in the next few months.
